Getting cross fit

Sep 25, 2012

 I took an adult ballet class last night and would like to be heavily sedated today.   

Having my ass kicked by a tiny little woman in a leotard has made me realize that I am going to be happiest if I'm "cross-fit". So I'll be back at the dance studio on Monday next for my continuing torture sessions until I can move my legs AND my arms together. I am also going to start horseback riding - probably in January. I'm trying to find a Pilates class that fits into my schedule but that hasn't happened yet. I'm going to keep swimming and do the gym and keep doing the little things - yard work, walking around the office complex, taking the dogs out, etc. all in between.   

My biggest issue right now is my flexibility. I have a chronic case of sciatica on my right hand side so that leg just doesn't extend very well, and it's a little weak. I hope the ballet will help with that. I'm not a yoga person, much to my yoga instructor sister's despair. She does send me helpful videos with poses that relieve the pain when it gets really bad though, which I appreciate and use.  

I think if the gym and the running was all I was doing I would be setting myself up for fitness fail. As great as it feels it still gets to seem like a chore. If anyone is feeling like that - try a kickboxing class, or go ride a bike. A friend of mine takes a trapeze class once a week!
