So this week I thought I worked out "the perfect crime." I discovered that during the week there is a 10:45 AM class at The Bar Method studio that I attend regularly. So, why does this matter? Well, 10:45 isn't usually a crowded class at any exercise studio - and this was no different. That meant extra attention from the instructor which I crave - I want to learn to do this right and not pick up any bad habits.
So when I went to sign up for my Friday class I discovered - no 10:45 AM class! I wasn't terribly happy about this realization, so I signed up for the 9:30, which can be a busy class out in the 'burbs. This was no different, but once again, I dutifully informed the instructor that I was new and I lovvvve feedback.
Then I did my favorite thing (which I need to stop doing) and bought some new socks in the lobby of the study. I loved that they said "Shake it shake it" because that's something I need to learn how to embrace, but am having a lot of trouble doing.
I toughed through class - embraced the shake to the best of my ability and set the goal of not taking breaks during sets that are "just too hard to get through."
I'm seeing definite improvement over the beginning of the week - but I think that's mostly familiarity with the class and the moves - which frankly feels very good.
Rewarded myself after class with a trip to Lululemon to buy a pair of over the knee grip socks (come on - how am I supposed to go to class in the snow during the winter in New England without the correct socks?)
About 12 hours after class ended I was laying in bed kind of sore wondering whether I was completely crazy to be registered for class again at 9:30 Saturday morning? Was three days in a row of barre just too much? Well, since I was past the time for late cancel (see a trend here - although I'll be honest I also use it to force myself to go to workouts) I was going to have to find out.
