I'm getting a little jealous reading about the fun workouts other LUers are doing. I tried borrowing Scott's P90X from the library, but am something like 70th in line. The Y offers Priscilla's Zumba only at times when I can't make it. I can't drive out to Concord all the time to try Charlene's class like Carolyn. And my bike needs to be repaired before I can ride like Jim.
So I looked around for new adventures close by me, and came up with Jazzercize at Shore Cultural Center. I've seen the group in action at past Relay for Life events and it looks like a much fun. It reminds me of step aerobics (which I love!), so maybe I can get my endorphin kick there.
I'm going into tonight's class a little nervous about looking like the out-of-shape spaz that I am. I mean lifting weights and using cardio machines is one thing, but having to bounce around not tripping over my feet? I'm holding firmly onto my friend Kathryn's law of exercise:
No one can think anything negative about a person's shape while that person is exercising.
That's because while exercising, weight is about things that happened in the past (cheesecakes, etc.), but the exercise is NOW. While you're exercising, you are doing everything in your power to be perfectly fit. So at that moment, you are just as fit as any athlete.
I just hope everyone else is familiar with the law and willing to follow it.
