1st week done!

Thanks to everyone who commented on my first blog. I will definitely try to make some of the pilates classes!

I have just finished my first week and it was great! Before this challenge I had only taken Jane's stretch class so I didn't know quite what to expect in the cardio classes. Before Monday evening's class I was worried that I would be huffing and puffing half way through and wouldn't be able to keep up. Luckily this didn't happen. The class was a great high energy workout so I was very happy I made it to the end. I really liked that we learned moves and then put them together to create an actual routine. I got a bit turned around during the boxes and another move but I got the hang of it.

I really wanted to make the Tuesday evening circuit class but had other plans. I did two classes on Thursday...the stretch class which was great as usual and the Thursday evening Dance Fit & Tone class. Here I got to get some practice with the moves we learned on Monday...they were much easier to do this time! I really liked that this class also had strength exercises using the weights...I learned that my arms really need some work!

Friday I did feel the effects of two classes in one day but it felt good! I was still a little sore on Saturday but I still made it to the Funk and Tone class despite the rain, wind and cold. We worked on the same moves and again I found myself getting turned around a little less this time. Again I like that this class uses weights and strength exercises. This was a great way to get you moving on a Saturday. Instead of just coming around by late afternoon I had already had a great work out and came home feeling energized instead of lazy.

Overall I have really enjoyed the classes. I do feel a bit more fit and have more energy. My goal next week is to try and get to a pilates class. It was great to see so many bloggers at each of the classes. It really gives you that extra support knowing others who are doing the same things. I only blogged once this week but will definitely try to blog more this coming week. See you all in class!
