Due to my job, commitments at my kids' school, and being sick, it's been a long time since I made it to my Friday weights class. I did go on Wednesday, but that is a different, less intense instructor. I was actually nervous to go yesterday because I know how much tougher the Friday class can be. For starters, it's an hour as opposed to 45 minutes. I know 15 minutes doesn't sound like much, but that translates to a lot more squats, lunges and these ridiculous "burpee" things that we do! (Not sure I could even explain a "burpee" but I'll try... You start standing up, then gradually walk your hands down until you're in push up position. You do 2 push ups, then walk your hands backwards until you're standing up. At that point you jump. Then you do it all over again. Not sure how everyone else looks, but I don't think mine are pretty to watch! )
Anyway, after the first round of lunges, it was painfully obvious how long it had been since I'd been there. I made it through round one, but knew that Friday is our 3 set day. So, after pushing through the first set, I still had 2 more to look forward to! But, I made it. I survived. And today, I'm feeling every bit of it!
