Tricksy

[darkemeralds]

First, I promised myself that I would take up Zumba. Then I bought dance-workout shoes. Then I started planning how I could alter my work hours to get to a 5:30 Zumba class twice a week.

I still haven't figured out the work-hours thing, or gotten up the nerve to go to a Saturday Zumba class, but the shoes came yesterday, and after all that, going to the office-building fitness center and doing weights and floor exercises for 45 minutes seemed like a piece of cake. So that's what I did.

(I wonder if I can trick myself into writing another novel.)

My arms are a little quivery this evening and I expect that I'll be sore tomorrow. Ah, fitness. How did I let you get so far away?

My gym now has TWO Zumba classes, but I managed to miss both of them this week (but DID do two light workouts, so, not sooo bad).

Do you have a VCR? Because I have a Zumba tape. The plan (mice & men etc) is to do it a couple of times to learn the basics. I can pass it along to you...

I'm afraid my last VCR was stolen with a freshly-taped and as-yet-unwatched episode of X-Files, season six, still in it (one remembers that sort of injustice!).

But I've found videos online showing the basic steps and now it remains for me to actually try them at home.

The super thing about fitness is that once you start doing it you get better and better at it. :)

It's wonderful, isn't it? It comes back so readily when you apply yourself a bit.

I'm already noticing improvements, just one day it! \o/
