At the end of last year I joined {Virgin Active}.
I hadn’t been to gym in years.
But after {joining} a twitter group for moms with post pregnancy bellies and failing miserably at doing anything about getting my tummy trim I decided it was time to {get motivated} properly.
Needless to say I went a few times and stopped going 🙁
But January saw me trying something different. Classes.
I usually do the step machine and weight machines but that meant self motivation and I was failing miserably at that.
I decided to do a Pilates class. I figured with an instructor I wouldn’t be allowed to slack off, I also mistakenly thought that Pilates would be easy. I couldn’t walk for 2 days afterwards. It was great!
I then decided to join a work friend at a{Zumba} class.
I am in LOVE with Zumba!
I go every Sunday morning and I try go every Thursday afternoon. And to my utter delight they have added a Friday afternoon class! Yay!!
Im getting better at all the different steps and can now occasionally add arm movements to the feet without face planting.
Im going to start keeping a record off all my measurements on the blog so I can track my progress!
As at 31 January 2013:
- Weight: 52.9 kg
- Body fat: 30.2 %
- Blood Pressure: 92/57 mmHg

Oh I love Zumba – just not getting to it with all the sick at the moment. And Pilates is great. SOme of the yoga classes are quite good too
Yay! Go Gina!
