I went to the gym twice yesterday. I know that seems a tad excessive, but there are reasons for it.
I went the first time to go to a body sculpting class. This class purports to be all the work-out a busy woman needs. It's not, of course, but it is pretty thorough - there's some aerobics, some yoga-type moves and they work with weights and rubber bands and "yoga blocks". I'm hurting in entirely different muscles this morning, which says it's a good thing. One of the toys is something called a "body bar" - a padded, weighted stick about four feet long in this case. But to me, it felt like a padded and weighted *longstick* - something I've trained with a few times in the past. When the instructor had us move it from side to side, it was exactly the same sort of movement I'd learned, so cool. I was careful to choose lighter weights and take easier options but that should change.
The afternoon - well, there had been *some* aerobics and I did work up a good sweat but I've been doing 30 minutes plus on the reclining bike and I kinda missed that. I'd sort of talked myself into waiting until Tuesday but![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
jonbaker expressed interest in going to his gym, and if my going again to mine would encourage that - well, I'd get my bike riding in, too. Win-win.
No, I'm not getting high from the exercise. I don't push hard enough for endorphins to kick in. I just like the feeling afterwards.
