First Day. 9/4

Since I just transferred to the class today was my first experience with the class. We started off with a warm-up jog including high kicks and butt kicks. It was a good way to get my body ready for the upper arm exercises of the day. The workout started with push-ups and planks - a good, easy way to ease into the rest of the exercises. We built off of those common work outs by adding kicks. That definitely got my blood circulating! We led into arm circles and lifts using small weights. The weights offered good resistance and it definitely got harder along the way. After taking a break we focused on abs in order to give our upper body a rest. The ab workouts included crunches and variations of the superman. To end, we went back to planks and push ups incorporating both into one single work out. We held the plank for 10 seconds then alternated between putting our elbows up and down. It was a hard exercise and required a lot of stamina. To finish class off, we cooled down by stretching. It was a hard first day but I enjoyed it a lot and am super excited for Thursday!
