Ode to Cardio

Muscle tense.
Muscle relax.

Ease into it
Slight pain from commonality in the bone;
similar pressure builds

Exhale, release, grip the floor
Flex those glutes! Flex 'em, never escape
the pain 
the toil, it becomes worth it
worth it
worth it
the mechanical body stops for nothing if
You possess a willpower stronger than your muscles

our Skin
sticky, soft, salty and perspiration-drenched
move that ass, that back to the booming music
that slow disco and rhythmic bass— 
the Chest heaves with a familiar undulation 
the core is in continual initiation

Ease out of it
push that final rep
PUSH

Muscle tensed.
Muscle relax.
