We've had over a month to prepare for this after purchasing a fantastic wicount voucher for a month's training for just R80 (always game for a bargain - the real price is R450 - we didn't hesitate signing our bodies away).
We definitely didn't think the decision through so overwhelmed were we by the bargain and bonding opportunity.
Because its already practically dark by the time the 6pm class dawns (or is that sets?) - not to mention the fact that we are in the middle of winter (with a cold front conveniently adding to the bite of that first class). No wonder it was such a bargain!
B fell to the wayside on Day 1 (flu + a weekend of binge partying at Durban July) so us three muskateers headed to the battle ground, nervous as hell.
Observation 1 - there are no fat people (so much for being able to show up anybody in class some of our competitive natures cried)
Observation 2 - we had to rate out fitness and join a group accordingly (wise decision to choose 'average') and fall in the green 'easy' group
Observation 3 - green ain't no walk in the park
Observation 4 - hot instructors. Now at least that works on our motivation!
Observation 5 - At least we weren't 'yes, yes sir-ing' like we imagined but WOW we are going to be so stiff tomorrow!
And that we were - R the most so (despite plans to move up to yellow in the next class)
but by day 2 I was even worse than her - couldn't stop laughing at myself as I hobbled down the stairs at work, holding on to the wall.
I just have to keep reminding myself that it'll all be worth it when summer comes....
And at least we're so stiff that we aren't even remotely tempted to get off the couch to find biscuits or chocolate to make us feel better!
