Friend convinced me to go to step aerobics class at our Y. Yowsers!!!

I can only go for 30 mins. because of work, but it's certainly one of the best workouts I can get in 30 mins., especially while I can't run because of injury. (I don't do the jumping maneuvers.)

What a humbling experience!  I just thought I was in good shape!

It's just muscle specificity. So while you're in good shape for swimming/biking/running; you're not so in shape for "Bodyworking".

I've had that experience recently too.

I haven't been able to run for the past couple of weeks because I hurt my foot. I also haven't been able to bike because I don't have a bike trainer and NO WAY am I going out in the freezing cold to ride my bike!

That just leaves swimming mostly. For some variety though, I have been doing strength training and yoga. The yoga doesn't bother me, but I have been sore the day after almost every single day I do strength training.

I did 300 calf raises last night. Now my calves are really sore. Moo! (Get it? Calves. Hahaha).

The thing is though, I am really starting to enjoy the strength training and will definitely be doing it more often. Go figure!
