I am so happy to announce here that I made it to the aerobics class as I had planned! Yay me!
I’m very stoked because work has a way of canceling out plans that I make around 6pm. In my experience, 6pm is always a tricky time to make plans. It’s technically “after work” but its too close to “working hours” that anything can stall you.
But I’m glad that I went to the class because although I was completely spent during the class, I had so much fun!
The steps were relatively simple but they were tough to do because I have been out of shape and lack the stamina.
There were times when I felt the acid reflux gurgling at the bottom of my stomach but I kept on going — slowing down my pace so as to not exert too much energy and make the nausea worse.
It got better after 30 minutes had passed and the temperature cooled down. I was getting a better hang of the steps and injected my own style to them. I even sang along when the trainer’s boom box blared out a techno version of Justin Timberlake’s Senorita 🙂
I almost wish that we have a class next week. But it’s a bit silly to insist on a class and travel all the way to the office when it’s Federal Territory Day! So two Tuesdays from today it is.
The instructor — I forgot her name — said that the next class will be Aerobox — a combination of aerobics and boxing. That sounds tough!
I imagine there’ll be plenty of kicking and punching going on. But it should be fun and really good for the arms and legs!
The only part that I have to get used to (in the aerobics class) is the toning and sculpting exercises. We had to do squats and lunges just now. I know I need them but that doesn’t change the fact that I HATE them! So painful 😦
I prefer to tone via yoga because it’s gentler, I think.
I hope that keeping good form and wearing my toning running shoes while doing the moves will speed up the sculpting process. Now that I mentioned it, my back hurts! Is that the feeling of my running shoes doing work? I certainly hope so!
Now that I can cross out exercise from my to do list today, I’m just going to enjoy the rest of the evening and spend some time to plan my schedule for tomorrow. Night everyone!
Happy Weight
