Sat. morning workout

I wish I had a picture for this post. It would show 5 smiling women, representing different ages and all my neighbors. I roped these women (last night!) into joining me in an exercise class this morning. They all hopped in my van and we went to this class that we knew nothing about, other than I knew the instructor and she was teaching this new fitness class with the word groovy and dance in the title. I will not be able to adequately describe this class. There were no mirrors in the room...intentionally. The instructor started out by saying that fitness doesn't have to be what Hollywood makes it out to be. That no one will be checking out our 6-pack abs in our coffins. She spoke honestly about how we view fitness, our bodies, and how concerned we are about what others think. I was most surprised to find myself sweating and smiling the entire workout! We're all heading back on Monday night and I think I'm even going to drag along one of my girls. Mom, watch out. Next time I get you out here you're going to be groovin' with me!
