Power Stretch

Here we are in January 2006. And of course I have decided to start the year off healthier. So I started on the treadmill. And I actually made it to Health point to work on the eliptical. I love that thing. If I could just not have every excuse in the world to get there. Once I'm there I love it. Well one of my lady friends said she was going to a power stretch class in the morning,and she would meet me there. That is motivation. If you actually tell someone you will be some place then it sort of pushes you to actually go.I just wanted to hide in the back row and not be noticed. Oh no. The sleek,zero body fat instructor knows all of her regulars. She comes up and meets me. And she actually remembers me from a year ago that I went to one of her classes. Of course she remembers me. I was the idiot with the giant ball who couldn't do any of the exercises,because there are thee sizes of balls, I had the biggest one and no one told me.Until after the class was over. So my feet didn't touch the ground and I was rolling all over the place. I am sure all the skinny instructors at the Christmas party had a big fat laugh over the short old lady that kept falling off the giant ball. Well ha ha, I know the ball trick this time you strumpet, so there!
The class is a cross between Palates and I don't know what. She used weights and giant balls. I used muscles that haven't ever been used in my life. Even the instuctor's boney-ass legs were quivering. This woman does this every day. Which leads me to believe that she was pushing it. And do they do that just to show off to a out of shape newcomer? Is there something that they just want to make it so hard that you just are in awe of the limber freak'in bodies. Cause I gottsa tellya, there were ladies there moaning who were regulars. So was that Miss Thing just showing off a little bit for the new girl? At least that is what I would like to believe,because folks it was brutal. I had sweat rolling down my forhead,justfrom holding my leg over my knee doing squats.I couldn't even stand on one leg for any length of time. And is that what they do in Yoga? Whatever. All I know is I will ache like hell tomorrow.And if little Miss Thing thinks she scared me off, she's gotta another thing coming.I think I have till Tuesday to recuperate.
I was watching the clock, only 20 more minutes, okay 10 more minutes, yay! it's time. This Chick goes, I think we started 10 minutes late.....she took us another 15minutes. Who does that? I am telling you she had it in for me. She even said during one of the leg lift things....How's it going Jill ? Do I look okay bitch? It wasn't aerobicly difficult,it was the stupid postions that we put our bodies.And then you hold there FOREVER!That was the killer. And the shakey leg syndrome would set in. I'm doing great!So my happy ass is going back. She can't get rid of me that easy.I know tomorrow I am going to be a cripple,but by Tuesday I am sure I will be able to walk.My body aches every day anyways, it may as well be for a good reason.
