Those of you who know Julia, either in person or from reading about her on the blog, know that she's a fierce swimmer. However, there is one form of exercise that she has been practicing for even longer than that of swimming:
(Despite her reaction to realizing she was on video, she has given me permission to post the above video.)
Now, Julia's galloping has evolved over time. Once performed in silence, Julia now opts to gallop to what she refers to as "my songs." As in:
ME: Should you practice your flute today?
JULIA: Yeah, but first I'm gonna gallop to my songs.
The play list includes various favorite energizing songs of Julia's. It's not clear whether these are also favorites of Lilly Mintz, but my guess would be that like in all other things, she and Julia are aligned in music preferences.
In case you would like to take up this form of exercise, here is the playlist:
(In no particular order)
-Take On Me by a-ha
-YMCA by The Village People
-Shark in the Water by V.V. Brown
-Free Fallin' by Tom Petty
-My House by Flo Rida
-Shut Up and Dance by Walk the Moon
-Paper Planes by M.I.A.
-No by Meghan Trainor
The steps for this exercise regime are as follows:
Get your play list going, whether using Google Home Assistant/Google Play, Siri, Alexa, your computer, or an old-fashioned CD player.
Once the music starts, begin galloping back and forth, the entire length of one floor of your house. Touch the walls at each far length of your gallop lap with one or both hands, then turn and change directions. Continue until the last song has played. Optional: ask Google Home Assistant to play an especially beloved song multiple times in a row, as desired.
If you feel the need for additional Gallop Time, the following songs may be added to the play list:
-Sit Still, Look Pretty by Daya
-Renegades by X Ambassador
-The Sign by Ace of Base
-All Star by Smashmouth
Happy Galloping!
