I guess a new year bring change right?? So, this morning I attended a spin class for the first time in about 3 years. I have to be honest, I am not a person who does well with change. I am completely comfortable with what I have been doing in regards to exercise (running, working out in my basement, etc). But given the weather conditions and the yucky roads that have come with them, and the fact that all of my workout buddies have been going to the gym (I don't care for the gym), I opted to shake things up a bit this morning with a spin class. Now, to be even more honest, the fondest memory of me and spin class is when I was about 6-7 months pregnant with my 2nd child. I attended a spin class and it about put me into labor. No kidding, It was horrible. I literally cramped and didn't move from the couch for hours after the class. Then, I attended maybe 2 classes after I had the baby and it was pure and total pain, I could not figure out why I was doing that to myself. It hurt, I felt like I was going to puke or that my heart was going to jump out of my chest, my legs hurt, my butt hurt, my head hurt. So, needless to say, due to these fondest of memories, I was a little hesitant to attend again this morning. However............... I LOVED IT!! I have to admit that I was a little proud of myself. Yes, I felt the burn. Yes, I felt my heart race but I could handle it. And so I am assuming this is because I am in better shape, RIGHT??? (this is where you are all supposed to be shaking your heads up and down saying, right!). Really, it was a lot of fun and when I was done, I could feel that my muscles had been worked, and I felt so good! So, maybe change is good from time to time. It was a great way to start my day, I feel like I am still on a high from it! Have a great evening everyone! |
