barbell go up, barbell go down

Today's method of torture was called "Body Pump."

(... isn't it cute how they all have little names like that? Not just 'Skinny People Torture You - Pts 1-8')

It's a weight lifting class.

The little girl teaching it got me all set up. Started me off with 2 little 2.5 lb weights. Yep, 5 lbs total. I'm looking at it going, "pussy little baby weights!!" Well, those pussy little baby weights kicked my ass. By the time it was over, I could barely lift my keys up to drive home.

I liked it better than Step tho. There's not really a lot of choreography to "barbell go up, barbell go down."

2 down, 6 more to try.

I think I shall do RPM (spinning) tomorrow. I'll have to get up a smidge earlier so I can leave work in time to do it before Weight Watchers (gawd this self improvement thing is getting expensive!! $30 for WW, $44 for the gym.)

Then on Friday I meet with one of their trainers to have some sort of assessment so they actually have, in writing, what a limp noodle I am.

Wheee!
