Another day, and yet another class. It was horrible to wake up on a Saturday and go and take this class. However, it was worth it. It was a very hard class (after the first 1/2 hour, I started having to take breaks and modify some of the moves by slowing them down or making them less impact). However, I did enjoy it. There was a lot of energy in the room, and there was lots of fast, modern music.

My buddy and I both enjoyed it, even though we were sweating like pigs. That being said, apparently after the class while I was getting a drink, the instructor came and asked my buddy if we were both alright. LOL. I mean, we were the only two overweight people in the class (most of the others were more towards underweight than anything else). My buddy said something to the tune of “well, we didn’t die…”. When my buddy told me, I said “it’s not like we’re gonna kill ourselves in a workout class; if it is too hard, we’ll take a break or something”. There is that little thing called a survival instinct, after all. Besides, fat people tend to get fat because they haven’t pushed themselves hard enough (even though they may have good reasons like illness or kids, etc.), so I wouldn’t think that fat people pushing themselves to death in a workout class is likely.

Anyhow, it was a fun class other than the obvious fact that several people did stare at us. Kind of surprising, since no one stared at any of the other classes (even the dance class). Anyways, though, if they want to stare at my fat, jiggling body, then let them. It isn’t going to stop me from doing what is good for my health.
