QiGong

As part of our commitment to our health, we've decided to try out several classes.  We know from years past (long past) that if we want to be fit, it's important for us to try different routines.  That way, we have multiple paths to choose on a daily basis.

While we've enjoy walking, I find I'm having a difficult time getting my heart rate up and keeping it there.  I've done a bit of yoga years ago and was amazed at what a workout it was.

So today, we decided to take a class in QiGong.  The best way I can describe it (from my perspective) is it's somewhat like yoga, but is done standing up.

And my gosh, what a workout it is!

We took a 45 minute class, and it literally kicked my butt.  Who would have thought that slow, concentrated movement could be so much work?  I'm proud of myself (and Terry).  We did all the moves, albeit not always like the instructor, but we made it through the class.  At the end, I was completely drenched. 

How does moving so slowly work up such a sweat?  And now once again, I'm aware  of muscles I'd forgotten I even possessed!

Maybe I'll try Aqua Aerobics next.

It's Never Too Late
