After thinking about what to give up for February while it was already February, I had decided to expand instead of decrease. I had originally thought of giving up soda or carbs, but January already gave me a refresher course in moderation - so doing it again would only be redundant.
Instead, I wanted to focus on what ways I can grow outward and expand; to give myself a different challenge. I wanted to focus on finding a sport I could love and commit to. Two good friends of mine found kickboxing and absolutely loved it and I'm so happy for them! They love going to class and work up a huge sweat and get endorphin high after. That's part of what I was trying to find, in addition to being able to clear my mind after a stressful day at work.
And so I decided to try Core Power Yoga studio that one of my other friend recommended to me. She goes religiously and what she was describing seemed to be more of my speed and what I wanted to get out of it.
So on Valentine's Day, I decided to treat myself to a class (the first week is free anyways) and jumped into Yoga Sculpting. I had no idea what I was getting into. I not only worked up a huge sweat but also re-worked some muscles I'd forgotten about since high school. I was dead the next day and couldn't feel my legs or walk down a flight of stairs normally, but I loved it.
I was a total hot mess, but I loved it. I love it enough to commit to at least another month or two (because it is very expensive).
I hope you have a good day and go out there and try something new!
