The journey continues
What’s the difference between Ab Lab and Best Abs Ever? Will Tabata Strength be more or less painful than Tabata Circuit? What does Tabata even mean? Is Metcon3 a code name for pain? Should I take Yoga Flow first, or Restorative Flow Yoga first? I like the sound of restorative. Restorative good. Max Damage Sculpt and Ropes all sound scary. Can we talk about the exclamation point after Dance!? Love. That’ll be a good one. I think Paula teaches that one. She’s fantastic.
Scariest classes? Precision running. I think I’m an imprecise runner. JK I don’t even think I’m a runner anymore. But I will be again. Hopefully before I take that class. Let’s put that one at the end of the list. Also, Ropes and Rowers and all things Tabata. I walked by a Tabata class. They were jumping. I don’t like lots of jumping. My CALVES don’t like lots of jumping. They don’t like it for many days after it happens.
I want to make a “find the class for you” flow chart. I want to know how many times you have to take Ab Lab before your Abs change, and will that help me with balance in tri position on my tri-bike.
I want to go back to my favorite classes and take all the new classes and swim three days a week and take up running.
This is probably hands down the most fun I’ve had with a fitness goal… although going downhill on a road bike at 25 miles an hour for the first time is up there.
I hope I’m always doing something I find really fun and exciting and a little bit crazy.
This post is about my 2017 New Year’s Resolution to try every group fitness class offered at my gym, The Equinox in Chestnut Hill. See the full list of reviews here.
Very ambitious! I think I would the TRX Max class, I like the TRX. I’ve done some Tabata, it’s 40 seconds on, 20 seconds rest of any exercise. It is up to the trainer to choose the exercise.
I’m really excited about the TRX class. I have a TRX at home but under-utilize it completely because I don’t really know what to do. Getting the hang of different exercises would be great; I would love to add some strength training in before outdoor runs on days I don’t go to the gym. That class will probably be really helpful. Tabata sounds like intervals… I love intervals. (Not jumping, but… it’ll be fine I’m sure.)
