Nothing Like the Sound of Bad Dance Music at 6 AM
I recently determined that most of my morning workouts were junk. I was patting myself on the back a little too much for getting up every day at 5:30, and figuring just being at the gym was enough. Well, it wasn't. My post-Bug-weaning self has begun to grow in a way I find totally unacceptable. After talking to a couple of people who know about these things, I decided to quit valuing cardio as the be-all, end-all of exercise, and get serious about more total body workouts and more intensive weight training. I did two days of weight training this week, and two days I attended the 6:15-7:00 step class. I've done step class before, and despite the fact that one feels like a total cornball, and the fact that one is forced to listen to Cher, it really is a good workout. The instructor is a perky woman who looks to be in her late 40s or early 50s, in fairly good shape, with curly blonde hair, a tiger print sports bra, and a navel ring. She's very perky at 6 a.m., which I can forgive her for. And it's better than the overweight trainer who taught the strength class to country music and always showed up late. So look out Increased Metabolism, here I come!!

Are you kidding?? Cher is the best thing about doing step! She *understands*, she caterwauls, she *feels it*.
