Hi, I know a lot of people are back in school now and a lot of people in the Ana community especially will be wanting to get thinner in time for October or just throughout the scuool year, so I thought I’d share my workout routine!
First I start with exersizes for a thigh gap;
- 40x single leg raises (20 each side)
- 20x sideways scissors
- 40x heel pulse (20 each side)
- 10x froggers
Then core strengthening;
- 1 min of plank in a push-up position
- 30 sec of elbow plank
- 15 sec of side plank on each side
Then a standard workout;
- 6 high knees, 4 lunge jumps (x6)
- 5 narrow knee push-ups, 5 wide normal push-ups (x3)
- 5 toe touch crunches, 5 full body crunches (x3)
- 6 mountain climbers, 2 side steps (x6)
- 4 crab toe crunch, 4 kick throughs (x3)
I haven’t been doing this for very long, but already I am seeing results, so I definitely recommend it to anyone that’s looking to get into better shape!! Stay safe loves 💕
Your Season 4 Required Reading
Haven’t looked at the canon yet? Read it years ago? Locked in a maximum-security prison with an allowance of one book per month? Never fear! Here’s what you need to read before next season.
- Link to all the stories
- En español
- En français
If you have no time:
- The Six Napoleons The basis for the first episode.
- The Dying Detective The starting point for the second episode and second gayest story in all the canon. Also, BAMF Watson.
- The Three Garridebs The officially gayest story in the canon. Reads like a hurt-comfort fic. The “Garridebs moment” is likely when Sherlock reveals his feelings to John.
- The Final Problem Presumably the basis for the third episode. The basis for Reichenbach; since we’re probably revisiting the Fall anyhow, it’s good to take a look.
If you have a little more time:
- The Devil’s Foot Third gayest story; fits well with The Dying Detective; Watson is BAMF; possible references in trailers
- The Lion’s Mane Possible references due to setlock on the beach
- The Valley of Fear The only Holmes novel not yet adapted on the show; Mary may mirror Birdy Edwards. One of the few stories in which Moriarty is mentioned. Lots of husbanding.
- The Sign of Four The AGRA backstory and Mary Morstan’s introduction
- Silver Blaze Likely reference due to car chase scenes
- The Three Students Significance of 1895; an important base for queer readings of the canon
- The Yellow Face Possible setlock and could relate to Baby Watson’s face never being shown.
- The Blue Carbuncle Referenced in Mrs. Hudson’s outfit.
- The Dancing Men Possible existing references
If you have nothing better to do:
- Read the whole canon. It’s worth it. They’re genuinely good stories, and Mofftiss frequently slip in references to stories throughout the canon.
- Watch the show again. The real question is: why not watch the show again?
- Watch The Private Life of Sherlock Holmes. It’s a) really really gay b) pretty good and c) Mofftiss’s favorite Holmes adaptation, the inspiration for the show’s direction.
- Watch the pilot. It’s called the gay pilot for a reason.
- Read John’s blog. He’s so in love and so bad at hiding it.
- Listen to the Sherlock music. Iconic themes, such as Sherlock’s, John’s, Mary’s, and the title theme, often indicate the feelings and motivations behind characters’ actions.
- Watch TJLCE and read LSiT’s meta Fandom classics.
If you can’t get enough:
- Read The Stark Munro Letters. It’s ACD’s self-insert fic about his crush that single-handedly proved to me that that man was not straight.
- Watch the Doctor Who episodes containing Madame Vastra and/or the Eleventh Doctor. Madame Vastra and Jenny are fem!lizard!Johnlock; you will never doubt Moffat again. The Eleventh Doctor and Clara have Johnlock parallels that are hard to ignore.
- Watch other adaptations, such as Granada Holmes. The show draws on all things Sherlock Holmes, not just the stories.
- Read M Theory. tl;dr: if your name starts with M, you’re a baddie.
- Read old meta. Much of the foundation of TJLC is based on meta from 2014 or before. Go through the tags and archives of your favorite writers, or ask them where you can find resources on every topic from homosexuality in Victorian times to the importance of tea.
Happy reading!
