A successful fitness drive - (when work meets play :)

I’ve been having great starts to my day for the last 2 weeks. I’m coming to respect my aerobics class for a lot more than the obvious reason of helping me fit into my oldest pair of jeans.

Getting up
Today, suvi and me made it to the class well in time. We actually got out of bed in the BITING delhi winter cold, dressed and found ourselves driving in near darkness to the land of fitness.
+ : The feeling of accomplishment on having woken up early

Hanging in there .. (literally)
During one particularly strenuous set, it was took all my physical/mental effort to maintain my precarious position as I heard my instructor counting down a long way from 0
+: The feeling of knowing that I’m capable of a lot more than what I let myself believe everyday.

Oh it hurts
I tried the chakra-asan on a slippery mat . Bad Idea. My back didn’t take it too kindly.
+: The music was great. The injury could’ve been worse :)
Like I said, it’s been a great day.

I realized how many of life’s moments can be like that and there are lessons to be learnt from an aerobics class. IQuote: “Exercise (Work), can be eagerly looked forward to. All you need is a feeling of community(friends), the will to have fun and some music"
