I started using my total gym a few weeks ago, and I could barely move for a week, but after the third session, it wasn't nearly as bad.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-971721308549315776.post-9380997108309297622012-08-01T13:22:14.721-07:002012-08-01T13:22:14.721-07:00So Susie!

Just showing up takes a huge amount of courage.<br /><br />As for age, I am 55 and just started doing Kung Fu a few weeks ago!kristieinbchttp://journeynorthof49.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-971721308549315776.post-51945726948860311242012-07-30T23:56:51.703-07:002012-07-30T23:56:51.703-07:00Omlair, yes!

You weren't a failure and I'm mad they made you cry. It sounds like the same kind of class I did in which case it's bloody difficult.<br /><br />Susie, I love when you get a real mix of ages and body weights with instructors.

Those nutters love burpees.<br /><br />The one I tried had squats and weights, the trainer handed me weights which I knew were too heavy, and upon my protestations he said 'you'll be right'. i didn't last 15 minutes, and am not too ashamed to admit that I had a little cry at my failure in the change rooms.Tanyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11975193305933341607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-971721308549315776.post-80153049661105384402012-07-30T12:37:05.864-07:002012-07-30T12:37:05.864-07:00I've been having a go at Zumba.

I couldn't have borne it if she'd been 6ft tall and a size 8!<br /><br />Despite being a little rotund with a definite spare tyre and a tubby tummy, she's as fit as anything which makes me feel tons better re my own size. I'm very proud that I'm actually keeping up, although I do sweat buckets (she hardly glows, lol) and I feel fitter for it (and extremely smug). Seeing as I will finally be the wrong side of 60 tomorrow (birthday - yeeeek), it proves there's hope for us yet.<br /><br />Keep it up, you can do it, and I can't wait to read your next post on the subject.Susie Jeffersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02402749518914063770noreply@blogger.com
