Yesterday's Yoga class was FLOW YOGA!! That's where you 'flow' from one pose to another after one breath...like from standing breath to folding down over your legs breath, to plank breath, to on your belly breath, to cobra breath, to downward dog to standing...again and again for an hour adding new poses to your set after 3 times. It was difficult, but it was SUCH a good workout and I freakin' loved it. I'm sure it was a beginner version of the Flow classes but it was still great! It might be my favorite...
Today, I tried my first Spin class. I went with two ladies from work and I was a little scared to do it, I knew it was going to hurt, especially since my arms & legs are already sore from Yoga this week haha - but no one said this journey was going to be an easy one!
There is always something with me...every day brings a little adventure. Today was no exception. I won't get into it to much, but I will say that I had gotten changed and decided to wait for my girlfriends outside the changing room and on my way out, I rounded a corner and nearly collided with another lady - that would have been embarrassing enough-if had she been clothed...WHY!?! WHY!?? awkward.
Anyway, We get up to the spin class and they are already warming up...I seek out the bike in the back corner and luckily my girl Jenny was there to save me and re-adjust the bike for me...THANK YOU! Even still, it was so HARD! I felt like I was sitting on a cement block for 45 minutes. Forget standing up, or adjusting the resistance - if there was a level that said "easy peasy" I was on it, and I STILL wanted to walk out half way through...so hard. But I will give it another shot...after my hiney recovers some. I kept thinking of the people on Biggest Loser and said to myself, if they can do it, I can do it! and then I pretended that Bob was yelling at me to push through it and it helped...I always have had an active imagination.
I am going to take the weekend off from Yoga/Spinning to let my hardly-used muscles rest - they aren't used to this!!! Until Monday...
Jilly, I am so beyond proud of you! I don't have it in me to do what you are doing... yet. it will come some day!
