I got up this morning and thought why not go and take a class, so I quickly look at the schedule
and see that theres a NEWBody Class followed By Awesome ABs.
Newbody is a low-impact and easy-to-follow class by combining cardio conditioning with optional hand weights.
Perfect for me the beginner, I get there about 2 minutes late and they have started the warmup which was jogging on the spot, then jogging with knee lifts, jumping jacks. I'm thinking wow
This a hard warm-up, already I'm sweating.
Next they have running on the spot followed by running knee lifts, super fast jacks.Um okay,
Hello what kind of warm up is this,then its run around the gym in a cirle, stopping and doing
jumping skating moves.
By this time I am ready to have a heartattack, luckily I zeroed in on someone who seemed to be
doing lower impact moves and started to follow her.
Down to do push-ups, not regular ones mind you, one handed, or alternating sides, centre, right ,
left with one leg up. WTH.
By this time I'm wondering if the instructor is on crack, she is yelling at us, and is flying through the moves, knee lifts with jumps.
Well actually it was all moves while jumping or running on the spot.
I'm sure by now you've guessed it I was in the wrong class, I ended up taking BODYATTACK
which is a sports-inspired cardio workout for building strength and stamina. This high-energy
interval-training class combines athletic aerobic movements with strength and stabilization
exercises. Dynamic instructors and powerful music motivate everyone – from the weekend
athlete to the
hard-core competitor toward their fitness goals. Did you read the hard-core
reference, hard-core does not describe me at all. I'm low core, or maybe even no core but hard-
core no way.
This is the hardest class they offer, and let me tell you the people there 45-50 were hard-core.
Of course I didn't realize this until I was out in the van, having problems raising my arms, and
looked at the schedule again.
I have 2 gyms close to my, and I looked at the schedule of a different one. I am now sitting here
wondering how the hell I will have a shower, because other than getting my hands up high
enough to type I can't do much else.
I am so proud I did the class, and will for sure do it again,
but man doing this class when I thought it was low impact light weights, what a shock
