Ouch, ouch and more ouch

Whom ever said that exercise is good for you has a screw loose in their head!  Decided that my old body needed some exercise so I trucked myself to the Y and jumped into an exercise class, head first.  Did I mention "old body?"  Being a teacher, it was very weird being on the student end and having the instructor come and quietly give me instructions on doing the exercise right.  Sheesh!

We did a couple of moves that I did not think were physically possible.  AND THE PLANK?  REALLY?  I can't even do girl pushups, and these ladies held plank position for at least 3 minutes.  Weights?  I started the very SMALLEST, lightest weights for the exercises.  My arms today feel like somebody beat them with a baseball bat.

Then today at school  .... Oh MY!  My students laughed until they nearly had tears streaming down their faces as I moaned and groaned and ouched every time I got up from a chair or went down the steps of our portable.  They thought it was hysterical.  I'm giving my poor sore body a night of rest, and then hitting it again tomorrow.  The moaning and groaning you hear tomorrow will be me - trying to be a big girl!
