PiYo
So, last night's class was PiYo, a hybrid of pilates and yoga. I really liked it. The instructor also added some Tai Chi moves.
In the past, I have been intimidated when I've tried to take classes at the gym. I am not athletic, at all. I have very limited flexibility and I'm not that coordinated. I once took a Jazzercize class with a friend and it was a riot - I can't tell my left from my right when things are moving along that quickly!
But, these classes are different. They are very mellow. The lights are down low. No one is showing off, and if they are we can't see them. I feel like I'm getting a good workout, but I'm not working myself into a lather. That's nice.
I think I may have found my thing.

Sounds great! I never got into the gym/mega-class scene either. I'm way to laid-back for that. Let me knowhow your new thing goes. I could actually see myself doing something like that.
Hey, this remind me of that Johnny post, you check it out for a while and let me know ;0)

That sounds fun, hard, but fun. I am not very flexible, so yoga kills me. I wonder if I could do the combo.

I love all the Eastern inspired exercise you've been trying, I did Tai Chi a long time ago and enjoyed it immensely. Your classes sound like lots of fun.

This sounds like a great way to exercise. When does school start up again?

I REALLY need to join some kind of exercise/yoga class to help shed the "referral-wait pounds" that I've gained over the past 6 months. For some reason, my brain tells my body that chocolate and booze are the cures for the waiting-blues ..

How cool that you are enjoying this exercise! Sounds like a great class atmosphere because I'm like you and have thought any attendance at an aerobics class would be more like a comedy of errors on my part!
