Gym Classes Junkie

After about a month of not going to the gym, we finally broke the cycle and went today. The cycle being one where we'd make plans then Nic would call last minute to say that she had to do something else. Or it could be that I'd call her saying that wild horses could not drag me out of bed. So after a frustrating month of plans that were not meant to be, we finally made it.

The cardio part of Step and Tone was fun but the toning part was painful. It's cool that we did not have a slim all perfect instructor this time. Her bum was pretty huge and I could not help but stare the entire time. *Ahem* I think my staring was masked by the fact that I had to look at her feet a lot of the time too.

Right after our class, there was a Belly Dancing class. So Nic and I stayed for that too. It was...umm...interesting. A bit weird but interesting. The teacher is an Indian/Middle Eastern lady with a bit of a piercing stare. She didn't seem to know what pace to go at since there were a few new faces. And she kept switching from step to step before we all got it. It was quite the challenge.

A flash back from years ago hit me this morning. Another awkward dance lesson. It was salsa. Funny how as soon as someone says to relax, I'll stiffen right up. Then of course there was her hands on my hips trying desperately to make them move in a sexy, seduction. Haha...needless to say, she gave up after awhile. It was still lotsa fun. Punctuated with bursts of free style when the instructor wasn't looking.
