cycling and abs class kicked my butt!
i finally enrolled in a gym near my office (so i have no excuse not to go...ya right, let's see how long this lasts ;D)... feeling very ambitious, i looked up the schedule for the cycling class...got my gear (i.e. towel & water) and went to choose the cycle for me (at the back of the class)... tried to look like i knew what i was doing by copying the seasoned "veterans" by warming up while constantly adjusting the seat and height without looking like the newbie... perky instructor starts the class with what she says is the warm-up...15 minutes in it i knew i was more out of shape than i thought... i was already out of breath, my legs were burning, my butt felt bony on the seat (how could that be?) and i could feel my face was already flushed like i've been drinking tequila shots for those 15 minutes... i looked at the clock... gawd, 45 minutes more of this?!?...how can i last? how can i get out of this?.... i cycle some more, concentrate, feel the music ... i try to keep up or at least look like i'm having as good a time as those "veterans" in front.... *help*...i take a drink of water and as i look around i see...yes... thank god, someone got off his bike... he must be a newbie like me! *glee* i can get off my bike too! *yehey* which i did... 35 minutes into the class i was free! i forced my shaking legs out of the room and towards....
the treadmill.... what?! why i beelined for the treadmill, i don't know... probably, something along the lines of "the mind is willing but the body isn't" or i just didn't want to give up just yet... whatever the reason, i was on the treadmill walking as fast as i could without being too strenuous... which was ok till my mind started to wander again... *isn't there an abs class in the next 10 mins?...i could do that!*... so there i was, 10 minutes later....in abs class, crunching my way to the sky, crunching with my legs 90 degrees in the air (which by now felt like lead), crunching my butt off the floor and my face all red again in the process.... why i decided to do all of that in one day... on my first day?!?... i should have known BETTER! so my body kept reminding me by aching everytime i moved in the days after... i'm sticking to yoga for now...and plan to move on to pilates....and THEN work on the rest... happy weekend! |
