Coffee and Egg bites front-loaded and off to Jazzercise!!!
Well… apparently when they say class starts at 9:15, they REALLY mean 9:15. 😆
I rolled in at 9:00 like an overachieving freshman on the first day of school while the 8:00 class was still leaving and the instructor was probably trying to use the bathroom before the next herd of caffeinated women arrived. Rookie move.
But honestly? I had a blast.
The room was full of retired ladies and grandmas who looked sweet and harmless until the music started.
Then suddenly they were out there grapevining, shimmying, woohoo-ing, and completely destroying my assumptions about “frail old ladies.”
I swear some of these women could absolutely kick my butt in cardio endurance.
And the funniest part? Before class officially started, they were all standing around in little gossip circles cackling like teenagers while the instructor kept trying to start the warmup.
Slowly the groups noticed the music had started and wandered in like:
“Oh wait… are we exercising now?” 😂
♡ The instructor was funny, welcoming, and super encouraging.
♡ The music was hilarious in the best way possible — techno-country remixes, disco remixes, recognizable songs you could sing along to while trying not to trip over your own feet.
There was one brief moment where they called out a dance term and I mentally blue-screened back to fourth grade when my friend tried teaching me dance moves to Paradise City, by Guns N’ Roses:
“I KNOW THAT WORD. WHY DON’T I KNOW WHAT MY FEET ARE DOING?!” 😳
But then I snapped out of it and kept moving.
And honestly, that might be the point.
Not perfection.🧘♀️
Not looking cool.😎
Not becoming Gym Person™.💪
