Thursday I had one hour for a workout - that was it, no more, no less. So I bolted over to take the new 11:30am Fit Body class at Pura Vida Club. The class description was:
Give your metabolism a kick start with this cardiovascular and muscular challenge. Keeping your heart rate elevated with bouts of cardio intervals while sculpting the entire body with balls, bands, weights and more. cardio * strength * flexibility
So when I went in and the instructor said grab a step and mat (and nothing else), I should have clued in that it wasn't going to be what I thought it was.
I quickly figured that out as we started in to warm-up. It was a step class. A few folks left shortly after the class started. I'm sure they were like me and expecting a different class. But I was an aerobics instructor for awhile and always hated it when someone walked out. So I decided I was already there and to go all in for it since I only had that hour.
After about 20 minutes I remembered why I gave up teaching step. My knees do not care for it and it does require a lot of concentration to follow routine, something I hadn't really mentally prepared for since I thought the class was something different.
I made it through but it was a long hour workout. I did enjoy the few one minute drills like push ups, tricep dips, lunges, and jump overs we did. I just wasn't in to doing a step routine.
Oh well I got some cardio. But my knees and calves have paid for that class for three days now.
After the class I headed over for my final Airrosti appointment on my shoulder. Dr. Wilson said I lean my head when rotating my right shoulder. That's probably why I still had some tightness. So last treatment and it feels good. Love being able to rotate shoulder without pain!
