Our ever popular Gauntlet class has moved its evening classes from Tuesday/Thursday to Monday/Wednesday followed by the 30 minute Crunch Time class.
Last night I finally had my opportunity to participate in this very popular class after months of trying to make it to a class. The class was held outside in the outdoor workout area and you couldn't have asked for better weather (really, it was perfect considering the cool, soggy summer we've experienced).
We did 5 exercises for 1 minute rounds with a 2 minute recovery break in between and completed 6 rounds during the 1 hour class. It was a fantastic workout. As a fitness instructor at the BrickHouse, I tend to instruct rather than to participate in many of the classes that I lead, so it was nice for a change to actually have an hour to let someone else bust my behind. Not bad for a women over 40! I even made it to the 30 minute Crunch Time class for abs afterwards.
Last week, my parents of 60 some years of age did the Gauntlet class so, I had to get myself into a class soon (I couldn't let them make me look bad! :)) They didn't make it through the entire class, but I am so proud of them for getting through the 2 and 1/2 rounds they did make it through. I'm sure in no time they'll be hanging on right to the end with everyone else. For the record, they did the hour long class that followed the Gauntlet and then came back that evening for Yoga.
If you haven't been to the Gauntlet, you have nothing lose for trying it out!
