We joined a new gym earlier this week, and when I looked over their class schedule I saw a H.I.I.T. (High Intensity Interval Training) class that fits into my schedule. I tried recruiting some people to come with me, because I'm a wuss and am scared to try new things alone, but no go.
So I summoned up my courage, told myself that in order to change you need to step outside of your comfort zone and headed out to the gym yesterday at a little after 5 am to get there for the 5:30 am class (the reason no one wanted to come with me).
The class wasn't that big, maybe about 15 - 20 other people. I copied everyone and got all the equipment they had and set myself up in the back. I was expecting Insanity with weights. With the exception of some starfish jacks and jumping lunges with shoulder presses, my heart rate didn't really get too high for the duration of the class. I was a bit disappointed.
I came back later to the gym with Martin to do more weights and a 3 mile run and the instructor saw me and yelled, "You didn't get enough from this morning?" I smiled and told her no.
I'm pretty sure I'll go back to give it a few more shots. I like that there were several lateral exercises that would be good for me. And I like how sore my abs are today (it hurts when sneeze).
I'm just craving something more intense. Maybe I'll go back to Insanity.
