Mixed feelings day

Today's resolution : learn how to dance. Oh my God, I feel like the most uncoordinated person today.

Let's start from the beginning. Today is a pretty gloomy day, weather-wise. Actually it's expected to be cloudy with showers all this week. But I'm quite used to it anyway. Anyway, so after lunch I went to the computer lab, and I finally finish 2 of my assignments today. Quite happy with that :)
After that I went to the gym and had not such an enjoyable time today. As I mentioned in the previous posting, I'm trying Bodyjam today. It's a dance class. The music was good, I like it, BUT today I just discovered that I'm really pathetic when it comes to hip hop and RnB dancing. I've tried ballroom dancing a few times before, and I think I did OK. But today, wow..... I was really embarassed by myself. And all the people in the room seems to be doing better than me, including my fellow newbies. Well, probably it's because the instructor didn't actually teach you how to do it, he just jump straight into it. And the tracks that he's chosen.... it's just crazy. One example : Beyonce's "Crazy In Love". How the hell did he expect me to shake my booty like in the video? Arrrrgh, it's just so embarassing. Good thing I'm quite thick skinned haha.

So after Bodyjam, I didn't feel that I have enough workout today, and so I stayed on for RPM (cycle) class. I've tried the class last week and the instructor (Keith) was great. But today is the launch of the new RPM (every 3 months they change the music), and I wasn't quite sure why every time there's a launch there are 2 instructors there. I think the other instructor may be from Les MIlls, which is the company that manages all these classes. Anyway, the other instructor is an old guy called Michael, and he really sucks. He was not a really talkative guy... most of the time he didn't say anything. And he like to come near you and increase your load, for no particular reason. Anyway, lucky he just take the first half of the class, and then it's back to Keith.

One other thing that annoys the hell out of me today is that in the RPM class, when I came in, it's still pretty empty, so I just choose a bike in the 3rd row, cos I don't want to be in the 1st row (no room for slack cos the instructor can see you). Well... after the class has started for about 5 minutes, suddenly a HUGE aussie bloke step in and take the bike directly in front of me! And so during the class all I can see is his HUGE butt and back. And there's another thing... he was sweating like crazy. You can really see the floor under him got wet. And I mean wet. So overall it was not a really good day at the gym today.

That's my story of the day. Please visit my other page (the music review section) for updates on australian idol :)

Hah. I didn't know that you were into spinning. I do it in the winter to keep fit. Although now I've transitioned to running and swimming.
