oh god. ashley KILLED us this morning.
she filled in for our regular instructor ali and we did legs today. oh god, the warmup started with walking lunges around the room with 5lb weights and just got worse from there. she kept saying, "ladies, this is just your warm up...we will be doing plenty of lunges"...ffs!!
so it was all plyo-type exercises: froggy jumps, walking lunges, duck walks, squats with and without weights...the only break we got was the calf raise/hammer curl sequence, which i personally LOVE. we dont do nearly enough of those in my book.
i'm not conceited by any means, but i enjoy being up at the front of the class and checking out the muscles in the mirror. i know how that sounds and i'm not intending it to be that way, but when i'm doing squats or what have you, i enjoy looking at the muscles in my legs and seeing what's going on. i always wear shorts to class because i sweat like a bastard, as well as tank tops, both of which provide good views of what you're doing.
when i first started working out, i used old t-shirts and jogging pants and stayed far in the back just hoping never to catch a glimpse of myself in the mirror. now i'm ok with being up front. it's kind of like my own bubble because nobody wants to be up there, so i dont feel as crowded, nor do i feel compelled to talk to people either. it's awesome.
i've been noticing my right knee giving me some difficulty so i'm going to have to either take it easy on it or do more stretching, or a combo of both. i have a 50 min class tonight at 7, so if it's legs, i am going to be in a world of hurt tomorrow...let's hope it's arms or abs!!
