The last couple days have been great. Had an awesome workout last night. Tuesday nights I meet my PT (personal trainer) for a one on one training session and cardio. We've started doing alot of kickboxing moves for cardio and I Love It!! Last night we started walking kicks and punches. It was hard, but I really like it. One of the things that is so great about my trainer is that he changes it up often. I rarely do the same thing 2 weeks in a row. On Saturday's we meet at the gym and that is a little more routine, but Tuesdays are awesome! I could really see how much progress I've made compared to where I was 5 months ago, and how it's helping me go even further.
Today I headed back to the Y for my second try at Tai Chi and Nia. Both were improvements from Friday. The Tai Chi instructor said I'm a natural and I had several comments on how accurately I was able to do some of the movements. I don't think I'm that good - I was just copying what the teacher did. When it was time for me to do it alone I messed up a lot. But I'm learning that most people are very encouraging when you're making an effort. I haven't gotten any negative responses yet from anyone. And hopefully I'm at a place now where I really don't care. I know that I want this. And I know that I will improve. So eventually people will notice a difference.
Nia was fun to. It's very easy to adapt to your level, but I have to be careful that I don't take it too easy! I pushed myself a little more today as I became comfortable with some of the moves. Definitely was able to work up a sweat today in that class!
I finished today with 20 minutes on the bike. That was kinda boring since I didn't have music or headphones or anything with me, but I did it. Then I headed home to enjoy my one day off.
