OUCH!! I Will NEVER Make Fun Of People Who Take Step Classes Again!!

Trying to keep to my workout promises, I drove my behind to the gym. I make it in time to take the step class.
I grab the step and put it down on the floor, for those who have never see what the contraption of horror looks like, there it is!



When you take off the purple additions most beginners starts with. I thinking it was going to be a cake walk, I decide to go with one level of purple. "It's just stepping up and down, what's the big deal?"

BIG DEAL!!

I did the warm up part and looked at my neighbour and said, "I'm never making fun of steppers ever again, and THAT was the warm up?" She laughed and told me that she used to be a step class instructor, and loved hearing that once newbies try the class their minds are forever changed!

No kidding! I'm going back next week! It was a very relaxed environment as well, no the workout part of it, but the ladies in the class vary from beginners to advanced. New moms, to women in their 50s, all encouraging the other and hollering at the teacher. It was just fun!

What a workout! But man, I have to go back to the gym tomorrow for another aerobic class PLUS my weekly Hip Hop class. I'm going to be done by Friday!!

Not giving up!

Whew! My mom took step class and I used to watch. No way! Hip hop sounds like a blast though. :)

Oh man. Step is nuts. I can't do it because it hurts my knees but when I used to do it, I thought I was going to die.
