Steppin'

As promised....

So - it's not really "Steppin' " - but it is step aerobics! (I think that steppin' refers to those dances where they step. Hmm - I don't feel like that clarified anything. If you don't know what I am talking about, that's fine!)

Back to my work out class. I decided that since these classes are part of my gym enrollment - I should take advantage of them. This class seemed to fit my schedule the best, so I thought I'd try it Tuesday.

Confession: I thought that step aerobics was a joke.
Truth: It's a work out. I was sore for 2 days after my first class. My heart rate was pretty high throughout all of it. And, let's just say I needed a shower afterward.

I was clearly the only first timer there. But I only knocked over my step once. :) Not bad! And I didn't fall over. There were a few things I just couldn't get. I think my years of HS marching band did me in!! We ALWAYS had to start off on the right foot - no matter what. Not so with this class - sometimes you alternate which foot you lead off with.

Today - I was able to get the "A-step-straddle" AND we used 2 steps. AND I didn't knock my step over. BUT I am pretty sure I am the reason we had a couple times of "let's keep tapping it out until we get everyone together."

I will be going back - and hopefully, I will be earlier to set up my equipment prior to the warm-up. (Although, I end up jogging from my car to class b/c I'm late, so that's like my warm-up, right?!)

......
I have shared with some people that my spring quarter goals are to "work on my fitness" (just teasing, but not really; the song popped into my head!) and to spend more time with my Creator. Some one asked about combining them - tada! The perfect way for me to kill 2 birds with one stone:
