Last Sunday, I made it out to spinning. Like I've said before, I really like this instructor. I don't have too much to add to that otherwise... spinning is spinning!

This week was sort of crazy at work... Monday night I had to drive down to southern Virginia for court on Tuesday, and I didn't get back until after 10 on Tuesday night. Wednesday I was just totally exhausted and, well, Thursday and Friday I was just lazy. I did get back into it with Body Pump early this morning though!

I am not really a fan of the new Body Pump release (74, I think?). The music leaves much to be desired and the lunges are even more difficult for me than usual. My back calf tends to cramp up and I lose balance a lot during most lunge tracks, but this one we had to have our front foot on a step without risers and my step kept slipping across the floor! I was pretty sure I was going to end up crashing to the ground! (I didn't.) I don't even feel like I got too much of a workout during that track because I spent more than half the time trying to put my step back in place. Oh well.
