Advil is my Friend

It's Monday and that means its time to get back into the swing of things. I don't go to the gym on the weekend (usually) and so Monday always feels like I am walking through wet cement when I get home from classes. And my knees hurt.

I took spinning this morning with Hazel. Have I said how wonderful I think she is? What a great instructor!! I wish you all could take a class with her. She's motivational, kind and full of knowledge.

After taking off my fabu new spin shoes, I bolted for the Boot Camp class that followed, with Shannon. She is a powerhouse - so strong, and has amazing endurance. I like this class, as it has great sculpting moves. I tend to modify on some of her plyometric cardio exercises (bc my knees bitch at me the whole time). I talked with her after class, and told her of my knee pain. (really, I just don't want her to think I am wussing out of her plyo moves) She said that with more exercising, its likely that the muscles around my knee will strengthen, and as I lose weight, the pain could completely go away. And until then, there's always Advil!!

Advil and I are so close these days, we might as well be dating!
