I thought I would let everyone know that I did make it to the gym this AM. Saturday mornings are normally swimming lesson time so I never get to go. However, I was late for combat... Boo! someone changed the schedule and bumped combat up 30 minutes, but I got one hell of a burn while I was at it. So because I lost part of my workout and had extra time I decided to give the weights a spin.
It's been a long long time since I've pushed any heavy weights (body pump uses weights, but lets be realistic here, they aren't heavy... because the focus is on endurance and strength). Honestly I was nervous, it was like that "first time you put on your skates after the summer kind of nervous". I knew logically that I could push weights around, but emotionally I was scared..." what if I get hurt? what if I can't do it as well as I remembered?w hat if I get hurt AND someone see's me messing up? how much weight to push? I bet I'm sooo much weaker now, this is embaring... I hope no one recognizes me"... These are honestly some of my thoughts... But...
I did it! For 35 minutes I pushed around some "somewhat" heavy weights! I was more or less testing the waters, I felt good because I was nice and warm from combat. So that being said, I don't really feel scared anymore. I'm not venturing into man zone anytime soon but at least I know I can do it and will now add a circuit of weights into my routine. Funny... I guess in the end, I'm glad I was late for combat... If I had done the whole class I would have been way to tired to venture towards the weights!~ huh!
