This past Saturday, I had planned on taking a Step class at 9:00am. Instead, I decided to meet up with a friend to catch a yoga class instead and go to lunch. I then planned to go to the gym early to do some weight training. Unfortunately, I had misjudged the start time of the yoga class and did not have time to lift when I arrived at the gym. This turned out to be a good thing.
I now remember why I even decided to start working for a health club facility. I love taking classes. I had a wonderful and satisfying time taking yoga. It helped that the instructor of the class was phenomenal; plus the cute boys in class (especially the one next to me) didn't hurt either. There are fewer things more satisfying than taking a class for one's betterment. It feels so nice to follow a class rather than lead a class. I had forgotten the joy one gets after taking a good class.
Which leads me to wonder why there are so many people with sour faces taking class. How can you be miserable when you take a class? Since it is really a choice to attend class, one has control as to whether or not they attend. Why be there if you don't want to?
Anyway, if you haven't taken a class in a long time or ever,
take one. Go in with an open mind and just have fun with it. There are no strict rules except to try and enjoy yourself. If you are ever in my step class, just do your best, enjoy the music, and move to the beat how ever you want to. It will make you feel better no matter what. Later.
