Humbled by the Bosu

I'm typing this post from under the covers... a little nervous about performing any strenuous motions (like sitting or walking).

I got introduced to the
Bosu yesterday.

The
Bosu is a half-ball structure you can use like a step. Apparently, it ups the intensity of any cardio workout. I did not come close to the gracefulness of that woman in the photograph, let me tell you. The Bosu and I had a rough first meeting. I went full force like I normally do, and about 30 minutes in, I thought I was going to faint (literally). By the end of the hour, I was just doing the motions on the floor. I decided to let the Bosu win.

I only went to this cardio class because I had to work during the kickboxing slot. It was a good workout, but I really didn't have fun. I know myself, and if I'm gonna keep up with a workout, it has to be more fun than pain. I like to notice the pain
after I stop... or the next day. Not during.

Thank goodness I can make next Monday's kickboxing class.
