Getting back on track has started...

So I joined the local fitness club last night and took my first Zumba class. ZOMG. It kicked my ass something fierce, but I felt amazingly exhausted afterwards.

I was going to try and go to yoga today... but I slept till 10:30, which is when I would've had to leave in order to make the 11 am class. Next week. It's probably better that I didn't go this week, I don't want to overdo it my first week and not go back.

As it is, I'll actually be doing Zumba 4 times a week at least this month. I have an appointment Sunday at 5pm with my fitness coach to get started, which is a kick start program offered with my sign up fee. Then Zumba is at 6pm. Then Zumba again Monday, Wednesday and Friday.

I considered going to the spinning class on Tuesday, but I think if I tried to do that after 2 days in a row of Zumba... well I'd be dead. So I think I am gonna go to pilates on Tuesday, maybe I'll try the spinning class on Thursday. There might be on on Saturdays too so maybe I'll try and go to that then go to the Saturday yoga class.

But just the Zumba alone... cause the normal schedule is 3 days a week... will get me in shape real quick. And it's fun. I feel awkward doing it because it's so different and more intense then bellydance, but I'll get it. I'm moving, that's what counts. And as I learn and get more in shape, I won't feel nearly so awkward. What is nice is that I'm not the only one. There are people taking the class of all shapes and sizes, races, gender, plus you can tell there are people who really don't have any rhthym but they don't care, they are moving.

  1. From WEB102- I keep getting out of shape and then trying to get back in shape- it's hard work but rewarding! I know what you mean when you say 'amazingly exhausted.' Feels good.
