My first Aerobics Class!!

Last night I taught my very first aerobics class to some ladies in my church. I was so nervous! But it was a blast!! Here are a few things I gained from it....

1- Don't limit yourself! 

Anyone can do something to exercise! The ladies who participated were of all different ages, body types and fitness levels but guess what...?! They ALL participated! I was so impressed with the older ladies! For some of them walking is difficult but they were out with me doing what they could and it was inspiring. You can always come up with excuses to not work out... but there is some form of exercise for everyone! 

2- Exercise lifts your spirits!

At the end of the workout everyone had smiles on their faces! They all said how fun it was and how much they enjoyed it.  Exercise makes you feel good, gives you more energy and can lift your mood. 

When you exercise your body releases endorphins that truly will leave you happier and more relaxed than before you worked out. And I saw it happen right before my eyes! 

3- Strengthened our relationships!

I feel like working out together- making ourselves vulnerable in front of each other- really brought everyone in that room a little closer than before. It also helped some push a little harder and not quit. If you are wanting to get into exercise get a partner! Or join one of my challenge groups. When you are embarking on a new journey it is so much easier to do it with someone rather than alone. Having someone to encourage you and to be accountable to makes all the difference.
