CAKES are no strangers to trying some ridiculous exercise experiments. For me this began when A & I thought that although we hadn't run a mile in years that we were ready to train for the C'ville 10 Miler. We gave it a valiant effort and got as far as the Freedom 5K in Old Trail! :) It wasn't pretty but we did cross the finish line and shortly thereafter decided to hang up the ole running shoes. That same fall ( I don't know where all this motivation came from for me...I'm going to guess the same place it always does--my thighs) K, C, & I signed up for Boot Camp! Up at 6AM cursing that damn hill in Washington Park! And no one will EVER forget Bikram! I feel like I have a better idea what it would feel like to suffocate to death after my first class at Bikram. I hope God chooses a different way of bringing me home.
Since short-lived, crazy fitness experiments are kind of our thing, I had to share with you my latest since moving to Jackson--Pure Barre! I think we can all testify to the fact that exercising with friends is just as much about community as it is about getting a good workout? And since one of the few friends that I have here is the manager of the Pure Barre studio and my sister-in-law had been wanting to try it too, I jumped in. Who's surprised?
So sad that the CAKES have officially been scattered North, South, East, & West and we can't enjoy this new exercise fad together. However, it's kicking my butt and I like it! I just went to my 3rd class and it hurt so good! You should look it up and find a studio near you!
XOXO & Miss you all tons!
