| - It's only an hour, how hard could it be?
Oh how naive I was when I walked into the Dailey Method! This workout is different than anything I have ever done. An intense combination of ballet barre work, stretching and resistance, it is designed to create lean, strong muscles while enhancing flexibility. The movements are precise, targeting muscles I didn't even know I had! It left me feeling great, even though some parts were trembling with exhaustion! By the end, I actually felt taller.
Linda the owner was our instructor - a tiny dynamo of energy! She and Sarah, another instructor who was taking the class, were very helpful in explaining the correct form and occasionally would adjust us into proper alignment. Much more difficult when done correctly! These women are so nice and very enthusiastic about the practice. They were great motivators, too.
I wasn't the only new person today, so I wasn't the only one struggling! Geesh - I havent done a split since cheerleading! My fellow newbie and I have agreed to go back next Sunday - maybe I can get a couple of more inches of stretch...
I wonder if I will be as happy tomorrow, when I will certainly wake up sore!
