Firing on all cyclinders...
This morning I did a Step aerobics class followed by a one hour Body Pump class. I think I can safely say I've banished the germs!!
I woke up with the mind set that I really wanted to do both classes back to back but was unsure if my fitness levels were high enough. So, I went in with the attitude that if I just did the Step class it was better than no exercise at all.
The Step class was great fun (if not a tad complicated!) and I made sure I did BIG moves like the instructor, not half-hearted little ones! Afterwards my motivated high got me through the Body Pump class. I worked hard all the way through and couldn't keep the smile off my face during the cool down. It was hard work in places but the sense of achievement afterwards made it all worth while.
To anyone unsure about using the 'Move more regularly' tool I highly recommend it, Start small and build up week by week, you'll surprise yourself with how quickly your fitness levels improve. I've been regularly exercising since December and I can't imagine not going to the gym at least three times a week. A huge contrast for someone who hadn't exercised regularly for nearly two and a half years!
My top tip, if you want one (!) is to concentrate on what you're doing, not what other people are doing around you and you'll improve and enjoy it much, much more.
I'm off to chill on the sofa for the rest of the day, well earned even if I do say so myself!!
Great to hear from you and it's great that you are doing so well
I too am chilling on the sofa after a good workout in the gym
Take care and I am sure there is great week in store with you

Well done for doing both classes and I'm glad you really enjoyed it. I like doing lots of aerobics and step aerobics and I pick up the steps really quickly (years in a marching band doing routines helps!). I love it when I can put everything in and do all the hard bits putting in loads of effort and blasting those calories to bits - it makes you feel so good doesn't it?
