TRX

Today I woke up at four thirty AM to do a TRX class at the Monroe County YMCA. The class started at 5:30 and my friend and I wanted to get there early since this was going to be our first time taking the class. When the class started twelve people signed up which I thought was a lot considering it was still pitch black outside. The class started with a warm-up doing random things down and back the gym floor such as skipping and running. I kept thinking how this class was going to be so easy since I work out on a regular basis and take a lot of exercise classes. After the warm up we went to our spots and the class began. The first thing our instructor had us do was put our feet into the slots and flip over. Of course my friend and I were not paying attention to everything she said so we missed the part about crossing our feet so that when we flipped on our stomach the ropes wouldn't twist. Basically, my feet got all twisted up and I felt retarded. However, after the first 15mins I got use to TRX exercises and felt a little more comfortable. This class ended up being ten times harder then I thought it would be; there were exercises that I wasn't even able to do because they were so hard. I definitely recommend everyone to try a TRX class because it is definitely a class I am going to fit into my schedule. My whole body has been aching all day so its an hour that you wont regret!

carla, This looks so cool, I'll bet this is just what all cheerleaders need. I'll have to let my cheerleader look at this. Maybe you should be coach of your cheerleaders. I found out that one of Chester's cheerleaders from the past is coaching a college level cheer squad. Keep up the amazing work you do, remember there are little girls watching you.
