Gym Class Revisited
Size does matter. I unscientifically proved it at my gym class this morning. You see, we had a substitute teacher. And she was approximately my size! Not quite, you realize, but much closer than the itty-bitty gal who normal teaches. And here's where it gets good--triumphant, you might even say--I kept up!!! I was still awkward, uncoordinated, and occassionally off-beat, but I could match her jumping-jack for jumping-jack instead of the usual 7 for 8. My jump-squats were perfectly timed to hers! Everything she did I could do at the same exact pace. I'm sorta embarrassed to say what a confidence-booster this really was for me, but since some of the rest of you have admitted to similar feelings as I expressed in the last post on this topic, I'll let you know--it felt good!!!
