A Little ESSaturday ESSilliness!

Kitties!

May Ling here, with some tips for Advanced ESS Enjoyment!

Are you ready?

The first pose I recommend is the Sideways Recumbent Panther, employing a Half Head Twist for an added degree of difficulty.

Next is the One-Armed Swim Maneuver with optional Weapons Deployment.
Make sure your torso is firmly anchored in the ESS's downturn to achieve maximum claw extension.

Don't forget to stretch after trying out these moves!
Take a deep breath in...hold it...hold it...

...and exhale!
You should feel the burn.

Finally, don't forget to give the cameraman a raspberry.  I find it helps keep them in line.


Happy Saturday!

  11. Mirsku-vel is wondering if you could possibly do an exercise DVD, Miss May Ling. He has come over all hot and bothered and feels the need to do some exercise - but says he needs more instruction. SOme of those moves are so complex he must see more pictures of you. SOmehow we think there won't be room for us on the ess tonight!

  24. Thank you for stopping by our blog! Oh my goodness, when we got to your page and saw your room with all of those cat trees, we were astounded and delighted!

    And then followed by these ESS poses! Are you meowing as you do them? It looks so comfy.

  25. Hello Kittehs! Just want to say NO, I do *not* haz the sick! My post today was mostly taken from HAL's speech to Dave @ the end of 2001. I was just reminding my Human to leave me be, since she seems to find that simple request so difficult to comply with ;-)

    ReplyDelete
  26. Great lesson today! Laila can't wait to try those new moves out on her Ess!

    ReplyDelete
  27. Thanks for the tips! Looks like we have a LONG way to get to where you are with the ESS!

    Love, Cosmo and Ling

  28. May Ling, would you be my fitness coach?

    You sure do an amazing job!

    We gotta get an ESS!

  29. You are a brilliant instructor and I so want one of those... Hugs GJ xx

  30. May Ling..you should be paid to do endorsements for the Ess!! You are definitely the Mistress of Ess.
    Give your photographer a raise.

  31. Love the raspberry pulling face! great expressions :)

    ReplyDelete
  32. We have an Ess and we will try out those moves, especially the last one!

    ReplyDelete
  33. May Ling, you are so cute (you look a lot like me!), and you have such great moves. I didn't know weapon deployment was optional though. The best defense is a good offense. Scouty worries about his stew & I worry about Mica Crumb Pie!

  34. May Ling, you really know how to enjoy ESS! I love one-armed swim maneuver. I can see your weapon :-)
    And I love the raspberry in the end!!

  35. You look like a purrfessional on that ESS May Ling! We don't even have an ESS yet but we put it on our Christmas list!

    ReplyDelete
  36. May Ling, we haven't been using our ESS lately, but you have given us new reasons to start using it again!!

  37. Wow - I would come to your yoga class every day!

  38. May Ling, you're a furry good exercise instructor. Mom lufs the raspberry at the end. That gets the photographer every time.
