First Full Nia Class!

I'm loving this class, and I'm glad I've been able to do it during my set back with running. I'm still having some coughing issues. Maybe I got my hopes up too soon with the few days of warm weather we had, and maybe I should give up on running outside until the weather definitively becomes nicer. I've considered going to the gym to run on a treadmill inside, but that is SO boring, and Matt wouldn't be able to go with me. If it's nice tomorrow, and if I'm feeling any better, I'll try doing a little bit of running or maybe go for a long walk.

Geting back to Nia. We had our first full class today, and I'm definitely feeling it in my legs. I've been looking for a fun activity that will tone my legs and give me some cardio, and I think I've found it!

Don't Run With a Cold

On Wednesday Matt and I tried running according to the schedule, even though I've had a cold all week. Big mistake. I'm going to have to take a couple days easy, get better, and pick up more or less where I left off. It will set back my plans, but about halfway through our run I felt my lungs closing up. Not good. Asthma, sick, and cold-ish air are a bad combination.

Last night I was able to do Nia, though we didn't have a full class (still going over syllabus stuff, argh!). I'm going to like it, even though I feel a little silly doing some of the stuff in the class. I'm quite uncoordinated, and not very flexible, so it's not pretty. BUT, it's fun, so I'm happy.

Nia Dance Fitness

Today was my first day of Nia, although most of the class time was spent doing logistical stuff so I only really got about 10 minutes of exercise. The next class is on Thursday, and we should be getting a full class in then.

With the little bit we did do, I feel like I'll enjoy Nia a lot. I also realized how uncoordinated I am, and it's going to take some time for me to learn the moves and get my arms and legs to do the things I want them to... at the same time.

More detailed updates on how the class is going once we really get started in on it.
