Sunday Funday!

I participated in the HCC group workout (meaning it's open to anyone currently doing HCC), so there were a lot of people there!! It was an instructional-type workout - where you learn the correct form for doing lunges (and did several on each side), squats (I seem to have trouble doing these the right way and it hurts my knees... I learned you are supposed to have your weight on your heels and you feel like you are going to topple over backwards).  We also did side lunges, planks, side planks, and lots of arm weight stuff... Also, we did my least favorite, push ups.  We didn't do sit ups which I love... so I did some yesterday afternoon when I got home ;)

The instructor was this super-fit trainer, Alicia, who has arms that I want and she led us while other trainers walked around and made sure our form was up to par and that we weren't hurting our knees, back, etc.  We were to raise our hand every time we had a question or wanted to make sure we were doing it correctly or if something hurt - I, of course, had my hand raised the whole session.  They ended up stationing a trainer next to me... I wasn't a bit ashamed though (1 - I have zero shame, 2 - how else do you learn?)... I wanted to make sure I was doing it correctly then while someone could tell me versus later when no one is around - or (horrors) when I'm in a normal class where they don't stop every 2 minutes to show us how to do something!!

I was unfortunately not sore from Saturday's water aerobics class - I tend to rate effectiveness of workouts by how sore I am the next day... no soreness? not a reliable class for hard work out.  Maybe that's not fair, but that's how I judge it.  So this Saturday, when all of my team wants to do the water aerobics class, I'm going to go to a spinning class first or go to an hour of cardio on the elliptical before joining them.

{Today? (Monday) SUPER SORE from Sunday - so I feel good about that :)}
