I Will What I Want! Yeah, But What Does That Mean? (Under Armour Photo Diary + Natalie Uhling Workout)

Ready for a fitness adventure? “I Will What I Want!” Under Armour has been causing all sorts of controversy with their high-energy Sacred Bombshell ads. But what the heck does their trademark phrase mean? Check out my photo diary and watch Misty Copeland’s Under Armour hot spot about dealing with rejection in the world of ballet PLUS the NUfit Workout…

Hey Gorgeous,

Everyone is talking about the Under Armour commercials featuring women such as ballerina Misty Copeland, the American Ballet Theater soloist, tennis goddess Sloane Stephens, American World Cup alpine ski racer Lindsey Vonn, supermodel Gisele Bündchen, boxing and kicking ass in a sea of tweets.

For everyone asking why did they choose this person and not that person, start your own fitness line or publication and give shine to the folks you think deserve it. You will what you want. We are the media — and we have our own voices, right? Own yours!

The good folks at Mode Media invited me to an Under Armour Workout on the roof with Natalie Uhling. Her motto is, “No matter what, sweat every day.” Her workout method is called NUfit. Experience a taste of it with the 10-Minute Full-Body Workout With Natalie Uhling For Under Armour video after the jump.

Under Armour gifted me with head-to-toe fitness gear, we cranked up the jams, and it was time for high-impact cardio.

Basically, “I Will What I Want” means that YOUR “will trumps all.”

I will ____________ what I want.

“Don’t let anyone rob you of your imagination, your creativity, or your curiosity. It’s your place in the world; it’s your life. Go on and do all you can with it, and make it the life you want to live.” ~ #SacredBombshell Dr. Mae C. Jemison, astronaut | Tattoo on the left via @UnderArmourWomen, tattoo on the right via me!

Let’s clap it up for Sacred Bombshell @GorgeousInGrey! (And not a slow clap either.) This bombshell writer made the Universe’s decision to give her lovely grey hair at a very early age a non-statement statement of inspirational ‘Born This Way’ beauty and self-love. While I firmly believe in a woman’s right to choose whatever she bloody well wants to do with her own hair, I stand a little taller whenever I witness a woman standing firmly in her own skin and embracing who she is wholly. She inspires me for other reasons but I’ll get into that another time. Thanks for the inspiration, T!

Thanks @underarmourwomen for my #SacredBombshell Workout gear.#OOTD #IWillWhatIWant fitness tank top, sports bra, shorts, running shoes, and socks. Hair by God. Smile via Summer in NYC
