Buddies

When I first started to exercise, I knew I had to do it, but I didn't necessarily want to do it. The reason I kept going back was the women I first started out with, were hilarious. A couple of years ago there was quite a hodge podge of women in the 6 A.M. class. Some older, some younger, some more conservative, and others without many boundaries at all. It didn't seem to matter, we had a great time and laughed until the hour was over.

A lot of the women have changed, but the dynamic of the class hasn't. We still have all different kinds, which makes it interesting and entertaining. Now that I am fully enjoying the benefits of good exercise, the pull continues to be the camaraderie I feel with the other women.

If you are struggling to enjoy your exercise routine solo, get a friend involved, or go to a class, it is so much better to see others in the same agony as you are in. I know my thigh burn AND my psyche improve when I watch the misery on my friends' faces.

Thursdays are so great. The week is almost over, your legs are sore from Wednesday, (which is good) you get to box out your frustrations, and basically it's almost the weekend. Yeah!

This rotation is fast/slow and has been really great. Leg day was a killer yesterday and with shorts season coming up I am happy to take advantage of it.

Boxing has been great. My new pink gloves don't stink at all and I love hitting things that don't have the capacity to sue. It's a win/win. It is also an exercise anyone can do. No matter your athleticism, or how in or out of shape you are,  it is a fun way to sweat. Everyone is welcome. Come and take a class and see how you like it.

Happy Biz-day To Shauna
