Hey All,
I know "Sh'bam" may sound like some new modern way of cursing out your latest Nemesis, but it's not.
It's a class that takes music that's hot right now, and sets up a non-stop heart pounding dance session. It lasts for about 45 minutes, and was a lot of fun.
My friend works with her trainer on Tuesdays and Thursday so I was on my own yesterday. My American Family Fitness Phone App told me there was a Sh'Bam class at 7:30. It claimed to be simple dance steps anyone can do, which is good because I have two left feet and the grace of an elephant. I arrived early so I could lock all my stuff up and watch the end of the class that came before (which also looked good though I forget which class it was).
The room wasn't too crowded, in fact for hearing that it was such a popular class I was surprised there wasn't more people. The lights were dimmed, similar to the Pitaiyo class, and the music was LOUD. I could really believe that I was at the club. Well, aside from everyone being out of shape and in gym clothes. And the lack of alcohol. Definitely missed the lack of alcohol.
By the end of 45 minutes I was ready to collapse. My legs felt like jelly. I grabbed a protein/recovery shake from the downstairs cafe, and went home feeling pretty good. I still feel sore today, but mostly in my legs. I think if I go to the gym today I may just do free weights, and upper body. Unless they are doing Jujutsu on a beginner level. then I may do that. I know I saw it on the schedule but I don't remember if it was beginner or advanced.
Cheers :D and if you have a gym by you, you should definitely see if you can Sh'Bam it there! It looks pretty widespread ;)
That is so awesome - and funny. Lack of alcohol - you crack me up. But, it probably is a good idea not to over do it today. You can't do it all at once. But you have made a great start and I really think you are enjoying the gym. I would love to see you keep going. I think it is a better experience for you than trying to do it alone at home. And also, going with your friend does encourage you to keep going. I really applaud you for going. I have never had the confidence to go to a gym. I have always been too shy. I was going to join a club here once, I forget the name of it, couldn't afford it.
