Gym Anyone?

Okay, in the plight to lose some of the weight accumulated in Malaysia and also to tone the abs, I went to 24-Hour Fitness because the guy I spoke with offered a 30 Day Free Pass to try out the gym. Okay so went to the gym yesterday with a friend for the yoga class. I was apprehensive at first because I know yoga has some base in the Hindu religion or something. But my friend said if they started meditating and praying to their god, then we will just use that time to meditate upon Christ. Okay, sounds good to me. So we went there and we were definitely lemmings. We just looked around at others and followed meekly. Take off shoes, take off socks, sit cross-legged. Instructor began. Music soothing. Breathing exercises, check. I wanted to laugh out loud when she started saying do the cat pose, cow pose, monkey pose, dog pose... hilarious. But I really enjoyed the time to just check out of every care of the world and just concentrate on the body and the poses. It was pretty relaxing although some of the poses threatened to break my back and scared my muscles into shivering for mercy. At the end, I refrained from saying Namaste (I think it means I bow to you or something). All in all, a good experience. Next will be the cardio workout. Was supposed to go today but got call from Accountemps. Maybe tomorrow.
