We got a gym membership with free childcare. Therefore, I have no excuses.
Besides, they have classes and I really like classes.
I went to a step aerobics class, a few things I noticed:
1. There are a lot of people working out in the middle of the day. Especially men 20-30-years-old. Do they not have jobs? Someone needs to tell them that they may initially attract women by their muscles but most ladies don't stick around when that's all there is.

2. I was the only one who could not for the life of me remember the combinations.
Even the lady next to me who was roughly 7 months pregnant had the "ball-change, box-step, knee-lift, bow'n-arrow, elvis-leg, fairy-fly, repeat" down.
3. This wasn't even zumba and I'm having this much trouble.

4. The class was taught by a woman who was probably 55, with a rockin bod. Who knows, she could be older? Or perhaps younger deducing from her well tanned skin in the month of February. She kept looking at me with a hopeless expression... does that mean I will never have a body as rockin as hers?
5. The combination that she kept repeating loudly "this is the easiest one" I always seemed to be up when everyone was down. Then this popped into my head:
I may have looked worse.
But bless my own heart, I'm going to keep going back until I get the dang elvis-leg, fairy-fly down!
That video gave me a good laugh. I can't imagine you being as out of rhythm as you say you are. However, children do seem to do weird things to our bodies ;). And good for you for going to the gym! Love your blog!
ReplyDeleteAsk the teacher for some NKOTB and show the class your body roll.
ReplyDeleteI bet you could join in the yoga workout at xango. No one would even notice.
ReplyDeleteI just made myself laugh out loud.
