Yoga Newbie

After weeks of promising myself I would make time to go to Yoga but failing miserably I finally made it to my first class and dragged my long suffering fiancé with me too.

I won't lie. Standing outside that studio at 10am on Sunday was daunting. I had all kinds of the fear. This was definitely not helped by the posse of woman who all arrived with their own yoga mats looking like seasoned pros. The relief I felt when a clear fellow newbie turned up and throughout the class mirrored my own confused expressions and wide eyed terror. I was secretly a little but pleased whenever I managed to get into better positions than her. Purely because every other person in the room was better than me already (except maybe my other half).

The instructor was a little out there but in a really good way. She was so supportive and encouraging. After showing us different positions she came round to check we were doing it right. I managed to do most of the advanced positions and was really pleased with myself. I felt like I was very relaxed and able to clear my mind for that time.

I enjoyed the class so much that I am already booked in for the next two weeks.

 After the class the OH had booked in for an absolute class so I decided to do a short 20 minute HIIT session - a repeat of the one from last week's PT session. Much more tricky when you have to time yourself on a phone on the floor and you are jumping around like a dafty.

Monday was the usual body pump situation. I always loOK forward to pump on a Monday night.  Tuesday night I went with ym training buddy and did some cardio and shoulder training. It wasn't too intense for the sole reason that I am training in one way or another every night Monday through to Friday this week. Boxing is Wednesday, Yoga class on Thursday and PT Friday again.

I intend to do a catch up on Friday due to the crazy amount of training time this week so next blog: Boxing (round 2) + a new Yoga class + PT update.
