I used to be a big exercise fan. I ran, did aerobics, rode bikes, swimming... then my kids entered into various competative sports and I found myself spending less time at the gym and more time on the bench cheering on my kids. I developed what we southern ladies refer to as a comfortable and snuggable body (translation - round and wiggly). Since my kids are grown I thought I could just pick up where I left off on the exercise.
So a group of us at work joined Anytime Fitness. Being over 40, it's really hard to lose weight especially when you are the official M&M sponsor in the office. The girls decided to start going to classes offered at 12:15, 3 x week. First class I went to was a dance class - hip hop. Let me start by saying that I don't have a coordinated bone in my body. I'm Southern Baptist for a reason (baptists don't dance ya know) and I routinely walk into walls and trip over dust. I like to think I provided the comic relief for the dance class. Since I conquered this class I figured I would step it up and take the "Abs Class". First time, I was sore for 2 days, not a big deal. The next Abs class, our instructor (whom I am certain is Satan's daughter) told us we were going to have a really tough class and we would definitely be sore. She wasn't lying. It's been 2 days since the class and I'm still in pain. I even went over to our Physical Therapy department and begged for help. I sit down alot at work and when I stand up, I have to bend backwards to stretch out my hip flexor muscles. Ooohhh the pain I am in. Today the girls went for the Ab class at lunch and the instructor asked where I was. Ha! - I'm in hiding until I can walk upright like a normal person.
Till next time - eating Aleve and loving heat packs....
