Since I had today off, I decided to check out the lunchtime Body Pump class at my gym. Considering I ran 18 miles yesterday doing a full body workout that includes tons of squats and lunges may not have been my best idea.
I used to go to this class on Tuesday evening and LOVED the instructor, however she is no longer there and volleyball conflicted so I haven't been in over a year. In group classes, the instructor can make or break the class. I talked to a couple of girls before class and heard good reviews on the instructor. She was a encouraging, good energy instructor.
Man did that class kick my BUTT!! I knew I couldn't do my previous weights in that class, but geez-o-petes. Several times I had to drop to just body weight on the squats and lunges. Arms started off easy and a couple times I considered adding weight, but I am glad I didn't. Felt OK right after the class, but now, 2 hours later, my booty hurts. And I think the rest of my body is going to follow suit tomorrow.
I'm sure it is a combination of taking a year off and running 18 miles yesterday. However, I think I will be putting myself through the same thing next Monday. I love how STRONG Body Pump makes me feel. I can't make this Monday class often because of work, but will try to as much as possible. I am also going to test out the Tuesday night class again, even though I heard less than positive things about the instructor....Gotta go judge for myself.
