#skyrobics

I had a really great Day 3. On my previous reboots, this is the day that I struggled the most and I usually felt withdrawal symptoms from sugar, caffeine etc. I was really surprised that my only symptoms were being sore due to the increase in my activity, being really tired this evening, and having an episode of the runs (sorry, just keeping it real).

My big goal was to do an hour of Skyrobics. I got the times messed up and when I was about to leave my house, I realized that the class just started. I don't like showing up late to things and didn't want to only get 1/2 or 3/4 of the class worth.  But since I committed to this I didn't not want to not go.  I ended up being 20 minutes late, but am so happy that I went.  I really like Skyrobics because you get an excellent workout, get your lymphatic system going , and its FUN. What other workout can you jump around, laugh like a kid, and burn major calories? Ed, the owner was the instructor and was really great about me joining the class late. He also let me stay 20 minutes after and guided me through the exercises I missed. Then we had this great conversation about Skyrobics, swimming, and how achieving healthy lifestyle is a process. I am already looking forward to another workout tomorrow.

I also felt pretty productive. I did clean the majority of my place and go grocery shopping. I also got to listen to Juicing Radio podcast that gave me great motivation to power me through the rest of the day. Unfortunately, I will be up a couple more hours doing work for my class. 

Tomorrow my goals are to finish cleaning, finish my module for my class, and go to another Skyrobics class!

To pee or not to pee that is the question and the reality for women of a certain age, who have had children and who, well jump up and down, among other activities. Quite an interesting question to ponder as we walked into SkyZone today. Now I brought my dear daughter with an alleged fever, during a snowstorm, with a flat tire, to jump a few weeks back. I was dead set against jumping but decided to give it a go. It was fun. Like really fun. A few care free leaps and my heart was pumping. So when I saw that SkyRobics was an adult fitness class at SkyZone I was in. Rachel and I added it to the list of classes to try and today was the day. I was both nervous and excited. We entered the "zone" with about 10 other men and women suited up in our SkyZone supplied orange grippy socks. There was a mix of new and old students. The instructor seemed perky, but a little off from the usual aerobic instructor type. We started by each taking a square and well jumping.  The class was an hour long with each set lasting a little under 20 minutes. We jumped, we did seat drops, knee drops and spun round and round. We smiled, we laughed, we fell and we ran out to, pee!!!! Yes pee, alot. The high jumps and split jumps may have did us in, but we made it, sweat soaked but not pee soaked!!!! I don't know whether we burned 1000 calories like their website advertises, but I know that my back and legs ached the next day, and even more the day after that. It reinforced how important variety in our exercise routine is, and how fun it is to sometimes just let go and jump......
