I have taken a fair amount of exercise over the summer although much less since I started back to work at the beginning of August. We have had brilliant weather this summer so most of this exercise has involved walking outdoors, which has been great. However I have been planning to go to some fitness classes this autumn as the nights "draw in" and when my lovely fitness instructor neighbour Christine told me yesterday about the new class she is teaching, I decided that the time was right.
This class is called FitStep and it's a bit like Zumba but with traditional dance steps such as the waltz, cha cha, paso doble, and the charleston among others. Apparently it was started by some dancers who have been on Strictly Come Dancing until recently. I found it to be great fun, I really enjoyed the dance steps and felt that I got the hang of it quite quickly. I was soon sweating buckets but I loved it and I will be back!
I am enjoying my weight loss and have now reached 9 stone 10 oz. James thinks I have lost enough weight (that's two and a half stones now because I was 12 stone 5 oz at the beginning of May!) I would like to lose just a little more but mainly tone up and get fitter.
