Boot Camp
Tonight was my first exercise class. I haven't taken an exercise class for years. I have walked and I have run but I haven't taken a class.
I didn't know much about this class before I got there. I only knew that I needed to bring an exercise ball and that there would be firming exercises and cardio exercises. The instructor started and immediately used the words Boot Camp. I don't even remember the names for some of the things that we did. We did run, speed walk, weird pullups, pushups, rocking(don't know how to describe this part), and we lunged our way down what seemed like a very long sidewalk. After all of this cardio work we moved to the giant balls. I think that my ball was too big or my legs were too short. When we moved to our stomachs on the balls, I felt stuck on top of the ball and had a very hard time doing the correct exercise because I couldn't touch the ground. I didn't know this group of people, so, I was afraid to laugh.
The weather was perfect. Breezy and cool.
I think that I will continue to take this class. I need it and I need to be pushed. I am already sore and know that will probably only get worse as the week goes on and we have class again on Thursday night.
Want to join me? I could use some more comrades in misery...and later in amazing fitness.

Julie, I always knew you had big balls - and it is surely fine to laugh about that!
Good for you! You go, girl. Wish I had the discipline to do something like that. I do like my elliptical and still use it daily, but not as long or as hard as I should. I will be encouraged by you to try harder.
If I'd been there with you we would have surely been laughing our butts off. Which is exactly the point, right? We have one of those balls and I'm forever falling off of it. Max, however, is very good at it.
