I was working out at F2 - where I did kickboxing, body balance etc. but the classes were only offered at certain times and it was hard to go when those classes were offered. And with all the back trouble I've had, I didn't think kickboxing was a good idea.
so I went to go check out a few gyms and I picked one that is about a 20 minute walk away, but it is a nice gym that is clean and more spacious than some of the other cramped, crowded ones. There are also a little more women there than at some of the others. Gym memberships for a whole year are a little less than $400. Trainers are a lot more expensive, but I figured if a trainer was waiting for me, I would show up. I got paired up with Nilendra. He's been training people for a long time and he is an ex-runner. He is helping me strengthen my back etc. On the first day we did only arms and I just kept laughing at how little weight was on it. Ha!! but I told him that is what he is there for - to make me stronger! The second day I went and did cardio - the eliptical. The third day I did legs. While I was doing legs I saw a man in a handstand position doing push ups and I pointed him out to Nilendra and he asked me if I wanted to try!!!! ha!! only if he wanted to fix my broken head when I fell!!!
Next week is Week Without Walls so I'm going to be gone most of the week in Matheran with my 6th graders. so I won't get to work out too much!
Matheran is a couple hour drive from Mumbai and we take all the 6th graders there from Tues - Friday. It is a fun time for them to learn more about India and to be away from their parents. I am fortunate that the teachers that go on my trip all get along well and are fun! Hopefully I can avoid a monkey attack and rabies shots this year!
