a group of us has decided that it would maybe be a good idea to do a weekly workout in the community room here in our apartment complex. we'll switch it up between tabada, yoga, pilates, jillian michaels' booty kicker, and whatever else sounds fun. the community room is so great. there's not much to it, but it's huge, has a very large TV with DVD player (and cable!), tons of space for the kids to run and climb, and it's easy to reserve.
we had our first session today. we've definitely already walked away with a few lessons:
1. 4:30 is maybe too late if we're going to have the kids with us. this time of day is much too close to, if not right at, meltdown mode for most of them. earlier in the day will likely be better.
2. if later in the day is necessary due to schedules or the room already being reserved, bring something for the kids to do. skuuts or trikes, maybe? balls to kick around? something.
3. the community room floors are not clean. workout/yoga mats would be advised.
4. we must figure out how to work the DVD player. one might think that four grown, yet relatively young and technologically saavy women could figure it out. not so. and my tiny 7-year-old computer that randomly pauses during the workout because it's thinking too hard makes for an annoying experience.
we have a week to make some improvements, but all in all i'm excited. and i'm so thankful that i have a group of girls that i want to hang out with who are excited to be active together.
