Workout Like a Hooters Girl

Okay, so I haven't posted in a while. I have been a little busy regarding school and work and other things of little importance. I have received some suggestions as to what people want to read about. The first topic on the list is a question that many ladies, including myself before I was hired, ask/ ponder often. How do you "workout like a Hooter's girl?" The answer to that is full of agony and despair. Grab your yoga pants, tanks, and sneakers and get ready to sweat like a Hooter's girl. I will now tell you our secret workout.


There is not one.

The truth is, there is no set workout for a HG. Some girls, like models, happen to be naturally thin and need to do little to maintain their weight. Others, are health freaks who shop organic food only. I work with a variety of women who do a variety of things. Most of the girls couple moderately healthy eating (small salads for lunch or dinner with a plate of greasy, fattening hot wings once a week) with a run on the treadmill or elliptical. I work with one individual, who looks like a blonde version of Emma Watson, no joke, who shops only at Whole Food Store and eats tofu and bagels on a daily basis, runs daily, and does Lord knows what although we all know she is beautiful. No offense to Emma, I wish I could be that healthy. Some of the girls are even vegetarian and do nothing exercise wise to balance it out. Albeit, a Friday night at Hooters is my idea of working out five days a week.

Personally, I eat white meat and fish only- with a few exceptions here and there, but those are rare. I drink soy milk and a ton of water. My weakness is icecream, sweet tea, and coffee. I am one of those HG that eat moderately healthy and although I do not eat wings, I am not above a plate of greasy fried pickles every now and then. Exercise wise, I have a love for running and feel weird if I do not run at least every other day. I am an avid dancer, so usually, if I get that chance, I will bust out in ballet in my dining room or kitchen. I got lucky to have a passion for exercise. I do a lot of ab work outs. I find pleasure in the pain they cause. 

 Hooters encourages girls to be healthy and do things that they enjoy to work out. We do not have a specific work out requirement. If  you are serious about wanting to look like a HG, use makeup to highlight your features on your face, no tongue, nose, eyebrow, lip, or any other facial piercing is allowed (although some stores are more lenient than others; it just looks a little trashy on some girls). Fix your hair in a flattering manner. We are not allowed two tone colors, feather extensions, weird highlights, or unnatural hair colors like pink or blue. Take care of yourself. Drink plenty of water, be active, and do not rob the sandman of his eight hours of Z's. That late night TV show will be on "Hulu" in the morning. I would trade those bags under my eyes for TV anyday! Lastly, workout like a HG! Put all your effort into things you enjoy. Find the workout that best suits you, be it walking, running, abs, dancing, gardening, or swimming!! Just enjoy it.
