Everything was going great until I thought..."I should try one of those abs classes". Ya right, I guess I forgot how out of shape I am. Susan's ab class kicked my _ _ _ ! I never realized what a great workout the classes at American Family Fitness would be. I just thought it was a bunch of people jumping and dancing around with little effort. Susan was a great instructor and saw me cheating a few times - she even took the time out to help encourage me...problem was, I did a major leg workout the night before and I could barley lift my legs! I wished I would have had a spot in the back of the class where no one could see me cheat, but no - I picked a spot right in the middle. I'm always thinking "Everyone will be looking/laughing at me acting like a wimp", but that doesn't happen. In fact, it wasn't that bad after all. Everyone around me is either in the same situation I'm in, or so focused on what's going on that they don't see anything else.
I had a great time, but I'm "feeling the burn" today. Yes, that's a good thing.
Next - Yoga!
Tip: Seated, grab some books or an object with some weight that's easy to hold onto. Sit straight, raise the object in front of you (as if you were reaching out to someone) and turn as far as is comfortable to the right, then reverse and turn to the left. Do 2 sets of 15 reps. This will help get rid of those love handles.
