Okay, so I saw this tweet from Bob Harper this morning. Do I really need a lot of incentive to do crazy things? Negative.How is it that I got up before 8:00 a.m. and still managed to be late for a 10:30 a.m. Step class?
I guess that I do like to get up gently which is why I have a moonbeam clock which flashes light to wake you up.
I went back to Stacey's class which I
Stacey is calm and friendly and she has easy steps but you still get a good workout. In fact, she might want to consider naming her class Step For Dummies. Stacey did something today that I've never seen before. She used two step platforms. Platform one was Home and the one to the right was Away. We left just enough space between Home and Away to do jumping jacks. I absolutely loved the stomp move that she incorporated and I don't think that I was the only one. Stacey also had me chuckling with her curl and repeat command since it sounded like we were in a salon.
I also liked that Stacey invited questions and feedback. One class member told her of hip discomfort when she steps and Stacey asked her if she wanted to stretch. First class...
When I finished with Step class, I made a pit stop at home, grabbed a Clif Kid bar and headed to Upper Limits to climb a few routes. Remember what Trainer Bob said now.
I didn't have a belay partner so I used the auto-belays and, because I suddenly got a little freaked out by being up 30 feet up with no person on the ground to lower me, I climbed down every route. All that to say, I'm beat and my hand calluses are tender from back-to-back rock climbing stints.
The moral of this story: take what Trainer Bob has to say with a grain of salt.
Yeah, what does he know anyway?? Sounds like you had a really exhausting workout but a good one!
ReplyDeleteWow what a day! step and climbing up and down a wall like spiderwoman.
ReplyDelete@Diane,
ReplyDeleteSee what the pursuit of burning calories will make some people do?
@midlife_swimmer,
It's a good thing that my legs are strong. ;) I certainly used them a lot today.
