(no subject)
As part of my job our directors have asked the front desk staff to try out some of our fitness classes so that we can better explain them to members. It's not required, and we don't pay (we never pay!) but it's just one of those things that we should do if we can.
In general I'm a fan of this, and have been taking a class for 4 weeks now that I really like. I take it with 3 other girls I work with. I can only go 2 out of 3 days a week, but I'm still finding it really enjoyable.
On Mondays we do kick-boxing with this girl named Jennie. She's super and I really enjoy her and her class. We do 45 of cardio and then 15 minutes of fun weights (like looping exercise bands around each others waists and have someone try and hold you in place while you try to run across the room...oh so fun.) and then 15 minutes of abs.
One Wednesdays we have the mean Colombian lady, Imira (I think that's her name) and she teaches us step aerobics. Again we do 45 minutes of cardio and 15 of weights (not fun, though, VERY mean) and 15 of abs (painful!).
So anyway, Jennie is very good at explaining things and she understands well when people don't get what's going on.
Colombian lady, not so much. She just keeps on trucking. It's taken me 4 sessions to finally get an L step right. And I was just starting to feel comfortable in that class and understand what was going on. Coordination? You mean I actually have some! Celebrate good times, c'mon.
And then.
I fell off my freakin' step today! Not even during some tricky jump or turn thing like we were doing before, during a regular step. And my co-worker who was standing behind me thought it was hilarious. It was. I mean that seriously. It was funny. It didn't really hurt at all which made it better!
What's not so funny, however, is that I've actually sprained my ankle! It's not that bad, I can still walk and I only have a small limp but it's mildly painful/
And I've got a bruised ego.
