Okay, so I’ve joined a health club, because walking on a treadmill is seriously BORING, and I couldn’t stand it anymore. I really wanted to take some exercise classes, to make excercise more fun less mundane. I’ve done Pilate’s a couple of times, and I will continue to take those a couple days a week, because I think they’re beneficial. However, today I decided to get brave and try something new.
In order to keep from getting dizzy walking in circles on the track, I decided to take the Hip, Hop and Groove class. Forty five minutes of dancing, that’ll be fun, right? I know I have hip, I see them both in the mirror every morning, and hey, I can hop pretty well too. It was the groove I wasn’t so sure about.
What did I find out after my 45 minutes of torture dancing? I found that my hips hurt, my hop is seriously lacking, and I think I’ve lost my groove, if I ever had it at all.
I think I should only dance if I’ve had a drink or two or six, when I can go with the illusion that I can actually dance.
I hope I can chase teach my preschoolers tomorrow. Ouch…

COOL! It’s only your first time – don’t be so hard on yourself. Just remember that it always takes at least a few classes to get into the ‘groove’!
I always recommend that you try a class (any class) at least 2-3 times before you decide if you want to continue or not.
I too have tried the ‘dance’ classes and tend to have two left feet it seems. Also, my hips don’t move that well, that way. However, I do find that they are a lot of fun once you’re used to the routine and then you start to really groove and sweat.

Ditto to what Daisy said. Plus, maybe try having a drink before class! 😉
OH A. I feel for you! I’m ROFLMAO, but I still feel for you. See, now you know why I don’t do the classes, I’m too old.
Sounds like my type of class. I was always the wanna-be dancer in the family, ya know…
We’re doing a wellness program at work, which involves circuit training. My elbows cried last week. My knees may not forgive me this week.
The price of health is pain, I guess…
Stick with it, treat it has a laugh and have fun
Hmmm, So I can assume an update to this post won’t be “How Mrs. V Got Her Groove Back” ?! 🙂
Sounds like fun! I would have thought those kids would be enough cardio for the day though. 🙂
Do you know what we did to make the treadmill more interesting? … We bought one of those TVs that hang on the wall and put it right in front of the DVD. Now I can pop in a DVD and I forget that I am walking… Until my knee starts hurting from the arthritis. *sigh*
Oh my goodness!!! I’m crying, I’m laughing so hard!! You are too funny Angie!!!!
