Life Quest (and other stuff)

I went to a Callenetics class this morning, sucked in by the description: slow, controlled and small movements, focused on body conditioning and toning. Let me tell you this in no uncertain terms: There is nothing slow about it! It was: "It's cold today so we need to do a good warm-up" legs touching the nose; many many many repetitions from the get go. But I did learn a few things: (As mentioned) there was nothing slow about it. When the Callenetics chick says last two repetitions, she actually means, last two SETS of repetitions. That's 2 x 8 = 16 reps. And this after all the previous reps you thought you couldn't get through anyway. I now cannot feel my legs. After Callenetics chick has finished with your legs, you look forward to crunches. I can feel my arms. I feel pain in my arms. The movements may be small, but they still burn.

Quick update: January resolution: being happy > going well February resolution: wear sexy sleepwear > started off well, but decided to opt for no-sleepwear in this heat. Now for March: Read the rules for squash. Hubbie and I started playing on and off towards the end of last year, and have now fallen into a regular pattern. I really enjoy it, and for the first time in a long time I don't even mind the fact that it is (dare I say it) exercise . But, even though I enjoy it and could be worse at it, I have never even bothered to read the rules. Hubbie has, and probably won't lie to me (I'm not sure how competitive he really is), but if you are gonna get up earlier in the morning to regularly take part in some form of sport, I think you should at the very least peruse the Wikipedia entry. So that's the plan. Wish me luck.
