Springing in Spring

Alpha Dog Maurice (in the wheelchair) and Alpha Puppy Franklin are enjoying a sunny Spring day.
I was looking forward to a great calf, upper body and cadrio workout in Power Step class today. When I arrived, I found out they were certifying a new instructor so the class would be video taped, but we wouldn't be in the video, so okay. Umm...the candidate was beautiful and had perfect choreography. However, this is a new Les Mills class so the participants are new to the groove. She gave verbal instructions for arm movements but not foot movements. This is a step class. We step with our feet. The music and moves were too fast for monkey see monkey do. The woman in front of me left after 25 minutes. Five minutes later, I decided I wouldn't get hurt if I did something awkward with my arms but if I fell off my step, I'd likely crack my head open. So I left. Not wanting to miss the rest of my workout, especially after sitting in 40 minutes of Saturday traffic to get to the gym, I finished my hour in the ladies' gym on the StairMaster. It's all good.

I'm trying to find a fun cardio activity I enjoy doing. For the heart/lung benefit. And I really need to burn fat. I tried running. I really wanted to succeed. But I'm slow. I did finish a 5K, but I don't think I'll ever be good enough to join a running club, which was what I really wanted. Since I'm not writing anymore, my social circle has dried up. No more writer loops and meetings.
