I tried something new today that I was really nervous about. I showed up for a free "body conditioning" class at my school's gym! I figured it would be circuit training, or free weights or something, but since I was the only one there it ended up being an hour of personal training, lol. The instructor is a really nice girl named Abby, and she said that what we did is pretty typical for her classes.
We warmed up with a mile on the elliptical, which took about twelve minutes for me, and then briskly walked two laps on the track. In the studio classroom, we got a weight for each hand (I started with 3 pounders but needed to use heavier ones, so I switched to 4s. I will probably stick with those for a week or two) and did a minute of lunges. This was followed by arm exercises, core exercises, and lots of calf work and squats. I enjoyed myself, and I think I'll go back on Wednesday depending on when my play rehearsals are. The class is twice a week at 5pm, so on Fridays I will do my own normal cardio thing, I think.
I am feeling my quads right now, let me tell you!
