My First Workout... Again

It's been at least 5 months since I last worked out at the gym and participated in the Aerobics Class.

I was nervous as I quickly changed my clothes before the 12:00 class began.
I now understand why...

I get in there, and the instructor says, we are only going to need a mat. I thought ok.. no weights, no step, what am I in for?
She then said, we are going to do 30 second intervals for 45 minutes. Every time you hear the whistle, we will change it up. She said there won't even be a warm-up. OK...
Jumping Jacks first, and I was out of breath half way through those. They went on for a minute, (not the 30 seconds I was expecting). And I am thinking, only another 44 minutes to go in this class. Can I make it? Then, she had us do burpies, mountain climbers, kick boxing moves, planks, back up on our feet for some kicks and jump rope, and then, again with the burpies. Those burpies give me such heart-burn. But that wasn't the only thing burning. My ears were burning, and I felt ill. I had to take it slow, low impact, and I was feeling just how out of shape I really am.

It was worth it, but I had to stop with 20 minutes of class time remaining.

I definitely feel out of shape and know that I have a long way to go to getting back in shape.

Let's hope it gets better and I get stronger. It can only happen if you go and stay committed.

You have to start somewhere. And I started here....again...
