Finally an update...
...and yes, you bet it's going to be all exercise-y. Today I am very sore from overdoing it yesterday - I like doing two classes in a row, but ideally they should complement one another. Yesterday I didn't get on the Hot MOJO class I wanted to go to, so out of frustration (or something) I changed to SatsEnergy directly followed by BodyPump. Which basically means intense cardio and strength followed by more strength. Nope! Not a super idea. I was not able to lift as much as I usually do because I had already worked so hard, I could barely get the bar up over my head and onto my shoulders for the squats. In addition to that, the instructor was one of the biggest hard-asses - she wanted us to pretty much sit down on the step for each squat, which has resulted in the aforementioned soreness in my thighs. I actually really like waking up sore in the morning, but ouch too.
On Monday I had another go at Yin-Yang Yoga, which I wasn't a huge fan of after the first time. But this time it was great. It might have been because it was my favourite instructor, whose Zumba and BodyBalance class I normally take on Sundays. The YYY was followed by Organic Bodywork, which takes place in a hot room, but this time the heater was broken :( So it was a disappointing first time. I guess I'll have to go back to try again. She told me that Modern Dance Fusion might be making a return after Easter, so that's very exciting! MDF was, for me, life-changing. It made me realise I can do things that I didn't think I could, and it gave me more courage and confidence to try other classes that maybe I would have thought were "out of my league". The coreography was also amazing, even the warm-up coreography was great, and she said they probably will use the same coreography this time, and a new one in the fall. I hope it happens, I know I'm not the only one who would be totally excited to take the class again! We had such a nice chat, I was feeling all happy and smiley afterwards.
Otherwise it's pretty much been my "regular" schedule. I have started going to Soma Move again, which is an awesome, unusual and super hard class which I love to hate, hate to love. The animal-inspired movements are just mad and crazy intense. You never hear people breathing and moaning so loudly in any other class. It's great, you really feel like you're in it together :D The instructor is also really tough and demands a lot from everyone, which I appreciate. I like being pushed.
That was a big fat workout post. Now I'm going to have my silly urban lunch from Wayne's Coffee (such a nice place to go to after the gym!).
