Bodypump or humiliation?
Anyone who saw me at MTB SM last year in Falun knows that I can keep cool while making a complete ass of myself. So I thought it was time to try out Bodypump at Sportlife. There were about 5 guys and 40 women so I was surrounded and also worried since this was my first time ever with this kind of pass.
To keep some type of respect, I never had less than 5kg on the bar but no more than 10kg because I had no idea what was coming. And the worst part was my complete lack of co-ordination. When the rest of the room was lifting the bar, I was letting it down. With practice it will be fine but tonight I felt so stupid.
My strength was fine except for the bench press which made my muscles shake in a bad way which made the bar also shake. Oops. Triceps and biceps were fine but my shoulders and knees are not happy. The pushups hurt because I did them properly. A real man can't do a pushup with knees on the ground. And that plankan thing is wonderful.
So I survived but need to work on a few things. This was zero cardio so I wasn't sweating. But others were so I should probably increase the weight when I have the timing down.
And, no, I will not try aerobics.
