Today I went to my first Yoga class since having my baby. Yoga, it’s the easy class where you do a lot of stretching right? WRONG! I got to the gym dropped my crew off in the kid’s play area and jumped on the eliptical machine. Nothing shocking about this or out of the ordinary it’s my typical routine. Still trying to build back my endurance after those months on bed rest. Why does it take so long? As I was moving along listening to Pandora on my iPhone I noticed all these sweet elderly ladies walking past my machine with their Yoga mats heading into the aerobics room. Out of nowhere the idea hits me that I need to shake things up. Try something new to challenge myself.
Pre horrible pregnancies I used to really enjoy attending classes to push me harder than I push myself and give a good well-rounded workout, but I haven’t felt like embarrassing myself in front of a room full of tiny thighs and 6-pack abs yet. But today watching these ladies walk in I thought to myself . . . self a class where they are probably just going to do a lot of stretching would be a good ice breaker. Give me some confidence. So I bounded from my comfort zone of the eliptical machine and strolled in to find a mat.
So much for an ice breaker! Not only am I out of shape, apparently I am inflexible and these ladies were all there to show me up! I’m telling ya whoever said that 60 was the new 40 wasn’t kidding!
So in my own attempt to provide flexibility . . . now available!
The perfect gift for your next baby shower or niece, nephew or grandchild’s birthday. Available in any amount. Use at any time. Three cheers for flexibility!
Thanks for looking,
