A Saturday blog...what?!?!

I think this is the first time in a long time that I have actually sat down to blog on a Saturday.  That must mean I have something good to say, right?  Eh, maybe...lol.

So I went to the free Strength class at Medina Tone this morning.  It was EXACTLY what I was looking for!  There was no cardio, no froofy gimmicky stuff...just straight out strength with weights and a ball.  That alone will get me to buy a pass!  The staff at the door was very friendly and helpful, which is a far cry from my service at SHC.  She even set up my place on the floor while I changed my shoes!  Karen taught the class, and she was clear and concise in her explanation of every move.  Just when you thought you had no more and were ready to quit, you'd hear her voice, telling you not to give up, you were almost there.  It gave me just enough oomph to make it through the set.  The excercises were varied and there was just enough time spent on each muscle group to work it to fatigue and move on.  I highly reccommend this class!  I'm hoping to get back to the open house this afternoon to try the circuit class and check out some of the vendors.

As I was looking through my goody bag from the open house, I found a little slip of paper promoting what they are dubbing "25 days of Fitness".  it runs 11/28 - 1/2 and there is a cost of $25.00.  With registration you are eligible for extra classes, recipes, free December membership, special gifts and priority seating for a Christmas Eve Spin class.  For this, you must exercise 25 minutes or more for 25 of the 34 days, keep a weight and food journal, and weigh in with an employee once a week.  This seems like a great way to keep the weight in check through the food laden months of Nov. and Dec.  $25.00 is managable, but may be a little too much for some...but if you are interested in this challenge through Medina Tone, let me know!

If I make it to the the other class this afternoon...you can be sure to read all about it here!  Have a great Saturday!
