Quote From: marcia52I signed up for an exercise class a couple of weeks ago and I couldn't make the 1st week because my kitten was being fixed. Then Tuesday, I had a family emergency. Finally made it today and I did so well!!
I can't believe how healthy I truly have become!!! We did free weights and I was able to stay with the class except when my leg started to cramp and I simply bent my legs and then continued!
Each class is different!! I have a meeting with the personal trainer on Tuesday where I'm going to work out different routines on the machines. Like today, we did free weights and I didn't stay to do the machines. 2 hours is way to long for that. I want to do different! I want to develop a couple of different routines for me to do.
I'm still surprised at how well I'm doing with exercise. I was such a mess before! Now, I'm able to stick with an hour long class and walk away without having to take IBUPROFEN to help my muscles. In fact, this was the first time I found myself HUNGRY after the class was over. Usually, I'm not hungry for hours later!
This morning when I woke up I was hit with a WHAMMY! My thighs were killing me! I had worked muscles yesterday that I never even knew existed! I've been walking around all day on stiff legs. Sitting or worse, coming down a flight of stairs is a real killer for me!
And yet at the same time, I'm walking around so proud of me. I can not believe I did the entire class with only a slight redness in my face -- I don't sweat so one big fear for me is passing out from being overheated. The 3 men in my class had sweat coming off their bodies - so I knew I had held my own.
I'm doing so much better this evening and will do so much better tomorrow. I really can't believe that I have made it this far with exercise. It's been slow for me and at times like this, I see my healthy self becoming my true life style and not sitting on a couch!
