It isn’t until you decide to go to the gym that you realise how ill equiped you are!
I have a free 12 day pass to City Fitness, so I decided to go to their Group Groove class.
This is how it went:
My Running Shoes – check
My Running Socks – check
Only Sporty Looking Pants I have – check
The only top long enough to cover my sporty (tight!) pants with a bit of paint from Playcentre on it – check
Drink bottle – check (I borrowed my kid’s madagascar tupperware bottle, thinking I could put my bits and pieces in the screw cup at the bottom of the bottle….unfortunately I found out my car keys didn’t fit….doh!)
Feeling a bit nervous because the last time I went to aerobics class…was…well…I can’t even remember! Before kids?? Not sure?
Assured myself that I am some-what coordinated, so I wouldn’t make a total fool of myself. If you can do aerobics in your own living room, surely doing it in public would be no different! *gulp*!
After being pointed in the direction of the room, my plans to go to the back of the room were thrawted because there was already a group that had made it their home. I shuffled to the middle of the room.
I shyly put my hand up when they asked for “first timers”…and then we were off.
We boogied along to all sorts of music which I didn’t recognise, except for Britney Spears. I did a grapevine here, and mambo step there, cha cha cha here, I even did a body roll (basically a really sexy move!) and moved my hips like no ones business.
I marvelled at the instructors memory! How she can remember all those routines is beyond me!
It was heaps of fun! Glad I had my kid’s water bottle with me, shaking your booty takes a lot out of ya!
Looking forward to going again!
