Joined an Aerobics Class

I joined an aerobics class! Jazzercise to be exact that is held 4 nights a week at the middle school 1 mile from my house- I dont even encounter a traffic light or stop sign between here and there! It is really fun, it is held at 6:30 pm which gives me enough time to get home have a small snack and let it digest before i begin hopping around. I am so past the period in my life where i am embarassed- so if the whole class is turned around and i am facing the wrong way i just smile and wave at everyone facing me (i am at the back of the class naturally). So Monday night was my first night and i wore nylon cropped athletic pants and an xxl t-shirt ( i still have a few)......you guys that was the MOST uncomfortable i have ever felt. First i was hot with all of those clothes on and second--my extra skin........remember i have it on my thighs and booty.....the best i can describe it - is like a large chested woman trying to do aerobics without a sports bra--but it was my back end that was flopping up and down (kind of funny) .......i was so upset --there is no way i could have continued on ---BUT i found something grand....COMPRESSION shorts! they are an athletic short but are super duper supportive--come down to the knee........i wore those last night with my regular biker shorts on top---and it was amazing! So much more comfortable! Of course still with the XXl t-shirt --like a security blanket. I am really hoping this will jump start my metabolism again AND my motivation........hope all of you are doing well just wanted you to share in a laugh with me and my floppy booty. hugs-

Congrats! Sounds fun...maybe next you can jog to the class since it is only a mile away Terisa BTW..you look amazing!! I love the pics you had taken for your surgeon.

yeah Terisa! dont hold your breath waiting for me to jogg to class....my idea would be i jogged here now i don thave to do class...... Thank u for the picture commentary.......i am hoping that this exercise stuff will get it moving again!

Dear FB... floppy booty.... from an FB sister.... I can so so so relate! I have been jogging and noticed that my behind and thighs are still giggling.... no flopping... around after every step. I actually feel sorry for the people behind me! Pair that with my floppy arm skin and I am a regular jogging jello commercial! Where did you get these shorts from????????? Love, Your FB sister Rebecca

LOL! I relagate myself to the back row so no one is behind me ! I found the shorts at Sports Authority --They are Under Armour and they are actually called compression shorts --i think that they are for runners ---something about muscles.....blah blah blah but they feel so much better than FB! BUt i must warn you they were 27.00! i was really desperate or i would have put them back ----cuz that is alot of $$ for workout shorts........

Hey there girlie! Awesome find on the shorts! Also I am thrilled for you and your desire to get out there mingle with others that have the same goal.. health! That is a great way to stay motivated by going to a class where everyone is there to meet the same goal.. there is a lot of pride in that! I am all for exercise so it makes me smile when you guys say you are getting into it! There is not better form of stress relief for me and it really "pumps" me up and gives me that endorphine rush to keep doing well.. congrats!

I have been taking a dance class as well, I have been doing Zumba (latin dancing) and I just love it but for the past few weeks I haven't been able to go much because of family illness and boy I sure do miss it. Yea I know exactly what you mean about the bouncing booty LOL I have the same problem. Enjoy your class Mini me

Dawn, congratulations on joining the Jazzercise class! Good for you!!! It sounds like a lot of fun and you are so smart to get a class that is so convenient in both time and place...getting there is half the battle and you've already outsmarted those excuses. Thank you for the tip on the compression shorts, I'll look for some! Lately I've been fantasizing about wearing a scuba suit...it'd compress everything jiggly! Molly

a scuba suit?! now why didnt i think of that?!
