All good things come to those who are patient

My cousin and I have now been at our new gym for about 6 weeks.
And we are really impressed....all be it there has been a few mishaps
( but that is with injuries ..not the establishment )
I think its fair to say that as 2 older ladies ( one in her 50's and one in her 60's... and I'm not prepared to spill the beans about who fits into which Category!!!   because she'll kill me !!! 🙊 )
we are in quite a hurry to crack on and try all the different classes and be the best we can....
and we are both probably being a little ambitious...and we want results yesterday..
and to rush anything is probably not good but..to rush to be fit is going to have problems!!
specifically INJURIES!!
thankfully the injuries sustained by us are pretty minor..and more inconvenient than anything else...
(I hurt my back...which I can not say for certain was during my classes, then i hurt my shoulder, which I admit was being too ambitious in the classes...It happened whilst trying to do 'Wild thing')
(my cousin ..who will admit, although very fit/active, is not a regular at the gym until now...also injured her shouder whilst...would you believe doing 'wild thing'......)
It is ..i think an advanced move...combining twist and balance and strength....and like all asana's should be worked to ones own limits..and of course there are variations for beginners.... (definitely a note to us I think !!)
For me ..it just meant that I had to take things easy..and yes I still went to the gym..yes silly I know 
But for my cousin it has meant she has had to have a fortnight off too date...this has led to her being very frustrated and feels that all her hard work in the early days has been wasted.
But its not the end of the world and hopefully once she has rested it fully she can come back and do some more gentle poses....
still managing to work our arm ( to lift our coffee cups....ok ok and our wine glasses 😉 ) and our facial muscles ( smiles/laughs and chats😉) so not all bad news
Moral too this story...
All good things come to those who wait....And who do things gradually 😉       Namaste

Body balance and body jam...Body exhausted

Good morning

So I am feeling motivated at the moment ( ok..and a little bit mad )

I have done classes every day this week and its fair to say I feel exhausted  ( in a good way..if thats possible )

one particular day....I had a fab body balance class

...and I thought ( ambitious little so and so...) that I could do the body jam which was running immediately after!!!!

Well...I have never done body jam before ...and it is quite fast...with lots of left and rights..and arms and legs!!!! 

Nothing wrong with that...I hear you say...

BUT anybody who knows me ..knows that I am going to struggle!!!!

dont know my right from left...co-ordination not fab..never done it before....already exhausted!!!

yep..u getting the picture.....

It was a disaster...lol

But ..I will try it again...once I've recovered!!!!

No pain ..no gain...right?

And this is the 5th day in succession that I have got to the gym!...

And I am feeling very motivated....

So must fly... Body balance awaits.....

What ever you're doing...have a fab one 

And remember

be the best you can...
