Jazz Class

On Friday, September 16th, I took a jazz class with Celena and Lindsay. First of all, I went back to the gym last week and have been trying really hard to get back into shape. My first day back I took a turbo kick boxing class and almost died. I had to stop so many times and felt the most out of shape I have ever felt in my life! It was so depressing. This week I took a zumba class, which was lame. It was definitely a confidence booster, but it was too easy for me.

I was pretty nervous and excited for the jazz class and even though I knew I was out of shape, I as still figuring it would be like every other time I've gone back to dance...I would do awesome the first day when the adrenaline is going, then be really sore for a few days, then just bounce right back. Well, that is not what happened at all. First of all, I looked so heavy next to Celena and Lindsay who are both moms and both tiny! I don't even havce an excuse for being out of shape! Secondly, I struggled! I was already struggling five minutes into the warm up. I have lost so much felxibility and strength and about 15 minutes in, it was apparent that I would not be bouncing back this time. By the end of warm up my legs were already shaking. When we went across the floor, I felt tight and weak, but a few things were starting to improve. When we did the turns across the floor I felt all awkward as if I had never done turns before, but I was at least still able to do them so that was a confidence boost. The routine was really exhausting, but so fun. At one point we had to do three different jumps back to back, which was quite challenging for me. Overall though, it was so much fun. We all laughed a ton and had a great time and it felt really good to dance again.
