Trying new things
I workout a lot, but I got bored with my normal walk/jog/bike workouts, so I started doing some group exercise class. One thing I've always wanted to try is cardio kickboxing, but for the last year and a half, I've been too embarrassed to do it.
But, tonight, I sucked it up and went to class. I was really embarrassed but held my head up and acted like i belonged there. Unfortunately, I only made it through 40 mins of the 60 min class, before I had to bow out, but I'm glad I at least tried it. Every single muscle in my body hurts now!!!!
I need to do these things to build my confidence - i enjoy them and im not going to let myself be intimidated and sit on the side line. It's not easy, but definitely worth it (please please let me be saying that in the morning lol)

I agree with you about trying new things. I spend allot of the time in the pool doing laps, water aerobics and now Aqua Zumba (that's new and fun). Need some changes (am adding some strength training)
Question---have you tried a spinning class? I stood at the door and watched for awhile as they went through canyons and mountains, etc. Looked great. Looked really tough. They were even standing and riding---
Have you tried it? How was it???

However, I must say----my hips just don't quite move that way!!!
After my first class I had to get off the bike during the cool down because my butt hurt so bad. The instructor said that was completely normal and to try to take 2 classes a week to build up "callusses" (sp?) so it would hurt. It took me about 3 weeks for my butt to stop being so painful. You'd think with all the padding it would hurt so much!
*You've reminded me how much I enjoyed it. I just checked and my base fitness center has a spinning class on Sat. morning. I'm going to start this week.

Im pretty good at judging how much my body can tolerate - I think after a few classes I might be able to do the whole class, but for now, I need to be able to walk down the stairs out of the gym
