Gymnastics or Bust

I don't know what it is but lately I've been obsessed with gymnastics. I'm not sure why. It probably is because I have an obsession with a ABCFamily show called Make it or Break it. It's about competitive gymnasts and their life constantly in the gym practicing. I discovered it last year and I've loved watching the first 2 seasons. Can't wait for it to start up again.

Because of my new found obsession, I decided to try out the beginning gymnastic class. I took tumbling when I was younger and I didn't think that it would be that difficult for me to pick it up again. Well, the content isn't that hard but my body is a little different now than it was say 8 or more years ago. After the first day of doing summersaults and learning to "stick it," my body was/is shot. All of my muscles hurt. But, needless to say, I'm loving it. Today for example, we were doing our end of class strength training and one of the trainings is a pull over on the low bar. It just what gymnasts do to get their body on top of the bar. Our teacher has an assistant that was there spotting people, helping them to be able to do it. I walked up to do it and he said, "We've got a gymnast here!" and I said, "Well, we'll see!" and then he said, "Well you should be one cause you're built like one!" I just started laughing! Me! A gymnast because of my build?!? Well shoot! That just means me and gymnastics were made for each other. A relationship I wouldn't mind developing!
