Change and me are not friends. It's one thing I really wish I COULD change.
Anyway, I did a workout class I had never done before. Turbokick. I walked in like a timid little puppy. I also walked in to see everyone in the class planted like sardines in the back row.
Insert instant freak out.
I walked up, or more so dragged myself up, to the front of the room where I was hanging out by myself. Then I look to find the instructor and she is pretty much right beside me. So I was side eyeing her and thinking I was about to have a broken neck from watching her.
All was good when a girl came and literally stood two inches away from me. This was turbokick. So yeah, I graciously moved to the corner of the room so I did not get a turbokick to the face.
Moving to the back corner of the room left me front and center to the glass doors and windows to the outside and next to the beastliest beast I'd seen in a bit. I think she was looking at me like I was in the wronnnng class. And I'm sure all of the folks outside those big glass windows got themselves a good laugh.
I was kicking, punching, burpeeing, and jumping jacking all over the place. Maybe a little off the rest of the class, but it kicked my bootay! I realized by the end of the class that I was so glad I tried something new, even if it meant looking like a fool the first time. I got a crazy good workout in and even considered coming back.
Moral of the story: Try something new. Sometimes change isn't so bad. And kicking and punching the air is a pretty nice stress reliever. Just make sure it's only air :)
Has anyone else done turbokick? If you haven't, you should definitely try it out!

I've never done turbokick, but it sure sounds like a good workout!
I always go to the back at a new class too :)
I've never done it but it sounds awesome.. Maybe I'll have to try it sometime!
I had a very similar experience with Zumba when I went in college! Lol
My first Turbokick class was the same way. And then I couldn't walk for 2 days. However, 6 months later, after dozens and dozens of classes, I was in love and I became an instructor. It's the best cardio workout I've ever come across. Keep at it!
