Ok, so I still have three more classes to try before I can give a truly informed opinion, but I'm thinking that today's foray will end up being the winner:
BODYCOMBAT
("combination martial arts class")
or... Beginner Asskicking as I will fondly think of it.
The teacher was a dude this time. I think his name was Terry, but I don't remember... he was really nice and very energetic (aren't they all tho?)
He warned me that I would probably feel very lost like I did in Step, but I actually caught on pretty fast. The only things that gave me problems were the kicks: can't get my chubby little legs up that high and later on there were some push ups and - I'm sorry - I tried to "push through the pain" or whatever, but I still can't do push ups. I just weigh too damned much. He was very understanding though and showed modified movements throughout to make it a little easier.
Still, there was lots of smiling and motivational shouting that I whole-heartedly participated in.
I can very easily see myself cruising in there after a particularly crappy day at work and pretending to beat the crap out of all those who... eh... seek to oppress me.
Still on the list are Attack, Flow and Jam.
There's a Flow class tomorrow if I get back from the 5K in Hamlin in time (I'm sure I will.)
My companion for the walk has been sidelined for medical reasons and my mom has to go out of town... circumstances have yielded a surprise and very welcome guest: HUSBAND!!! I thought when he said he'd go that he'd just cheer me on, but no, he's going to walk with me! >>>excited<<<
