Well… I may have accidentally signed myself up for a Cardio Sculpt/HIIT class. 😂
When I planned out my August credits, I was being all organized and responsible. I looked at the schedule, saw Darlene was teaching this morning, and immediately thought:
“Darlene? YES. I’M IN.”
I apparently forgot the tiny little detail of checking WHAT KIND OF CLASS IT WAS. 🤦♀️🤣
So there I was, in my first-ever HIIT/Cardio Sculpt class, trying desperately to keep up. And let me tell you… my coordination was not invited to this particular party.
At one point there was a solid two-minute cardio section that was FAST. Everybody was moving in the correct direction, with the correct legs, looking all coordinated and stuff.
Me?
Wrong leg. The entire damn time.
😂😂😂
And you know what? I just kept going.
Was it the correct leg? Nope.
Was I doing it the way Darlene was doing it? Absolutely not.
Was my body telling me, “This is the leg we’re using today, and if you want to survive, you will accept it”?
Yep.
So I rolled with it. 😂
Darlene kept giving me this slightly cockeyed “Christy… what are you doing?” look, but I was still moving, so apparently I passed the most important test:
I DIDN’T STOP. 🤣
By the end, I was absolutely SOAKED. 💦
And the Fitbit numbers tell me that even though I felt like I had absolutely no idea what the hell I was doing, I actually got one heck of a workout:
🔥 62 minutes
🔥 446 calories
🔥 123 average heart rate
🔥 27 minutes moderate
🔥 29 minutes vigorous
🔥 85 Active Zone Minutes
🔥 Cardio Load 55

I think I’ve officially reached this weird in-between place with Jazzercise. Regular Cardio Sculpt has me thinking, “KEEP UP, KEEP UP, KEEP UP!” while Low Impact has me thinking, “Okay, Christy, SLOW DOWN.”
So I guess I’m just somewhere in the middle, figuring myself out and rolling with whatever my body can handle that day.
And honestly?
That’s fine.
I’m showing up.
I’m moving.
I’m getting stronger.
I’m learning new things.
And occasionally I’m doing the entire combination with the wrong damn leg. 😂
But I’m still dancing.
And as long as Darlene is there, I’m probably going to keep signing up without reading the class description. 🤣❤️
