I really pushed the boat out today exercising. I arrived at the gym 30 mins early and whipped through a weight based circuit training session. That alone was exhausting, but I expected to have an easy time at the newbie one hour aerobics class.
When I walked into the class there was a new instructor. She looked sweet enough. In retrospect I should have remembered the old adage, “Don’t judge a book by its cover”. After a few warm up exercises, she announced we would be doing all exercising with weights and invited the class participants to select hand weights.
All the girls were sensible and selected small hand weights. I thought to myself I had just done a weight work out in the gym and it would not be a problem for me. How wrong was I?
I picked a pair of hand weights similar in size to my home hand weights. Ignoring the fact my own were made of plastic and weighted with sand. I didn’t have my glasses on so couldn’t see the numbers embossed on the side. The steel ones I selected were twice the weight. The funny thing was the two other guys in the gym selected the same size. They must have thought it was a macho thing.
After 10 mins we, “Us guys were all flagging”. The instructor then said, “OK now punch the air in front of you for two minutes with the weights”. We just couldn’t do it after 5 or 6 punches, we all had to put the weights down and just do the rest empty handed. I was so glad when that session ended.:p
