For this week, I had to attend a class. Thankfully, a sportswear store near my house called hyba was giving a free class Sunday at 9 in the morning.

This store does not give classes on a consistent schedule but they often give classes Sundays. For instance, October 14th they are giving a pound class and October 28th they are giving a yoga class (I am already signed up for both).
I attended a yoga class with my mother. Before the class, I felt very tired (9 am is early for a Sunday!). During the class, I gradually started to feel more awake and in control of my body. Finally, after leaving, I felt energetic and super ready to tackle the rest of the day.
In this class, I learnt that yoga can be a lot more challenging than holding weird poses and doing breathing exercises. It really made me work my quadriceps and my endurance since many poses were really difficult to hold. I really liked the fact that we were no more than six people in the class which allowed the Yoga teacher to be able to help each person individually. I disliked some of the poses because they were quite uncomfortable.
In the end, I was really glad that I went. I felt great for the rest of the day and thr class in general was really fun! I would recommend it to anu friend looking for a not too challenging and intense workout.
With an exercise program, I would like to improve my cardiovascular endurance. I want to run 10 km non stop. What would motivate me:
1- Getting workout clothes that I like.
2- Working out with a friend.
3- Attending a gym to get in the mood.
What excuses I could use:
1- I want to hang with my dog all the time.
2- I have to study.
3- I lack sleep.
I really enjoy dancing, pilates and team sports. I prefer going to the gym because there are too many distractions at my house. During the remaining weeks of this program, I could see myself working out in my basement (until I get a gym membership), dancing and following pilates videos on YouTube.
For the reaminder of my life, I see myself attending dancing classes a couple of times per week!
