Two Classes in a Row

Posted on July 3, 2019July 4, 2019 by John

I do not doubt I could survive taking classes every day, but since I am trying to give my all, I do feel the next day I need a little recovery time.  This week, since I pushed my Monday class to Tuesday, that meant today would be the first time I did two classes in…

Maybe I Overdid it Friday

Posted on June 29, 2019June 30, 2019 by John

I decided to work with one of the trainers for some private sessions since I wanted to improve my form and focus on needed hip work.  I picked Adolfo since he always puts in extra time helping me in class, and he is 53 and in better shape than I have ever been. I felt…

Well, I woke up this morning an hour earlier than usual feeling good, tho I made a point to claim that remaining hour of sleep!  As the day progressed I started to get the first hints of DOMS. I knew it was coming, and I was ok with that. What is DOMS you say?  No,…

Survived First Class

Posted on June 10, 2019June 11, 2019 by John

Day 1 for both training and diet. I have to admit, despite my calm, cool facade, I have (more than just) a bit of anxiety about dealing with new situations and groups.  I used to consider it social anxiety, but I have come to realize we are all hiding these feelings to some extent.  Some…
