BodyFIT

Last night I snuck into Lifetime in St. Louis Park with Alexa to take a BodyFit class with her. We've been trying to arrange this for a while, so I'm glad it finally happened!

It was a gorgeous night and Alexa had emailed me: How are we going to do this on a beautiful night????

But we both dug in and met up at Lifetime.

Which, by the way, is a gorgeous gym. Ahhh all of this sneaking in as a guest really has me hankering for a "real" gym. The lockers were wood, there were towels, there was a jacuzzi....hmmmm.

Anyway, back to the class. Our instructor Bruce was hilarious and the music he chose was fab. High-tempo Lady Gaga and the like kept me going.

He had us do an INSANE amount of push-ups on a Bosu ball, which nearly had me dying. We did a lot of arm/chest/back work, which was nice. I was scared there were going to be an insane amount of squats after Mary's class sidelined me last week, but it wasn't that bad.

The bad news though: when we were supposed to do a lunge, I went for it and had a sharp pain up my right quadricep. I couldn't complete a lunge without pain! So that was no good. But I just took it easy on that side. I was sore in my leg last night, but today I'm doing OK.

And I'm happy to report that I'm not uber sore today! The class was definitely a challenge and I thought I'd be hurting, but I'm OK for now. Maybe this will change as more time passes....ha.

Here we are: post class.


Thanks Alexa!! Glad we both went!
