I’m going to make this quick because in fact I am leaving in a half hour to go to the Y, and I am still in my PJ’s… but… I LOVE THE YMCA! Seriously. I’ve only been a member for a week and a day, but I am in love with this facility. I joined the Haselwood YMCA in Silverdale (http://www.ymcapkc.org/page.php?id=948) and it is freakin amazing. For one it is brand spankin new, so all the machines are top of the line, new and amazing. They all have screens that you can either see your progress or watch cable of course! Not to mention, every machine has an Ipod hookup so if you had videos on there you could watch those too! But beyond the fact that it is a beautiful facility, what makes my membership worth it is the pool and the classes!!
I get off work at around 10 every morning, and head straight over to the Y. (It’s basically across the street from Michaels, so very convenient). Go in, get changed and head upstairs to check the class schedule. The classes that work for me best because of when I get off work start at 10:45 or 11, so I check to see what time and decide which class (because usually there are a couple to choose from) and then I head either to the elliptical for a warm up, or back downstairs to pump some iron. Then at 11 I go take a class. So far I have taken “have a cardio ball”(twice), zumba, and kickboxing. And today, even though I don’t work I am going to take zumba again. And all of the instructors I have had so far are AWESOME!! I’ve taken workout classes before, but none like these ladies teach!
Sidenote…. If you like good music, high energy, and even remotely like dance I highly recommend zumba if you ever get the chance! The hour long class flies by because it is so much fun! And don’t get me wrong it is way fun, but you will definitely be sweating like a pig and sore the next day, or at least I was!
On Fridays I tend to get off work later so it is perfect for the adult lap swim hours. Last Friday I went and spent about 45 minutes in the pool doing various strokes just to start logging some swim time! I’m very excited for this to become a weekly habit!
Anyway, so far my membership has been completely worth it, and I am so excited to keep it up! Off I go…
