Strength Class

Yesterday I attended my first strength class at the gym. The class itself was very fun (there was music playing and the teacher had an abundance of energy and humor) but it was also a lot of work. It was a welcoming environment-- one of the other attendees helped me figure out which equipment I needed and nobody cared if I was a little slow at learning the movements. During the 55 minute class, we used hand weights and barbells while doing lunges, squats, and other exercises. For the most part, I used the lightest weights available, and let me tell you... I am majorly sore today.

It feels good to be so sore, despite the fact that today I'm moving around as if I were an old lady. And I'm sore in places I didn't know I could be sore!

I'm sure I'll be attending this class again.
