Monday night, my friend Darlene and I curiously moseyed into the "Hot Hula" class at our local gym. By the end of the night, despite not having mastered our Amis and our Kaholos, I went home daydreaming of the warm Hawaiian Islands. Seeing as how Hawaii has brought me so much joy in the past, I was slightly perturbed at how much pain our little hula lesson could bring to my future. The next morning, I woke up with extreme soreness in my abdominals which lasted nearly three days.
