crippling cardio

in preparation for our upcoming nuptials, danny and i joined a gym. we usually go & either do weights or the ellipitical, but this week, i decided to give the different classes the gym offers a shot.

monday was pilates which i enjoyed. it was just a beginners class b/c most of us were new. i like how you don't feel like you're working too terribly hard but when you get home you can definitely tell that you did something good for body. and it didn't involve sweating which was nice.

tuesday's class was called cardio combo. i had no idea what to expect what this meant besides the obvious - cardio. i walked in and the class was going full force & did not stop for an hour. seriously, no stopping. this class definitely involved sweating. i really pushed myself and felt good that i didn't go easy on myself. the only problem...today i am dying! i feel like my muscles are all scrunched up. i need to spend the rest of the day stretching. i am honestly walking funny. i don't know what i'd do if my daily routine required stairs...i don't think i could do it. i'm having enough trouble getting up out of chair.

so, tonight's class is zumba which i'm told is like a dance class, but i'm pretty sure i will be skipping the gym tonight. instead, i'll be working on walking correctly. hopefully, i'll be feel stretched out enough to make the muscle pump class thursday...it's taught by the same lady who did the cardio class...might be walking funny again on friday...
