Trying Something New!!
I took a step into the unknown tonight... I decided to get out of my comfort zone and try something different... something new... yep- I joined a class at my gym!
All the classes are included in my monthly membership fee, so I thought it would be a good idea to actually take advantage of this and try a few classes. I must admit, part of the reason I had been procrastinating was because I was a bit nervous- I wasn't sure how to join a class, whether to tell them at reception or just walk in. I was a bit worried I would get all the moves wrong (I have the co-ordination and balance of a hippo doing ballet) or wouldn't be able to keep up!
But I 'bit the bullet' tonight and decided to joing a 'total toning' class. I waited outside with the others, and just copied them when they immediately grabbed a mat and two sets of hand weights. I was reassured from the start when a girl walked up to me and asked me what to do as it was her first class too.
It was good- I didn't get too badly lost and it was quite challenging- lots of squats, lunges and arm work with weights. I will certainly be feeling my legs in the morning- I can feel 'em now!!
I noticed that there is a 'Bingo Wings' class on Sunday... I may give it a go...
