I have always loved being active. Like many of us, I used to be very intimidated to put myself out there and take a class in fear I wouldn't do it right or I couldn't finish the class. I'm not sure when I found the courage to practice whatever brings me joy but I'm sure glad I'm here now doing just that! I can only think it's the practice of yoga that has not only taught me so much about self love but also about releasing what I can't control like, what other's think of me! It's quite liberating! I share my journey because at 48 years old (almost 49 or 28 in my world) I want to let you know it's never, ever too late to go out there an learn something new and live your best life!! So at the end of November I was invited to try JUMPING, a trampoline type of fitness, at FIT HAPPENZ in Depew founded and run by a mother, daughter team. Can you say girl power!? If you know me, being a business owner of TWO small businesses I can appreciate all the work that goes into this and I give anyone getting up and running their own show every single day a lot of credit as I can relate! So in this JUMP class each participant gets their own little mini trampoline with a convenient handle. The teacher, Marisa came over to us and gave us the run down, she was kind and energetic and the students were also very kind and helpful which really brings ease to trying something new! The atmosphere was calming, low lit and the music was bumping which motivated me! Class is about an hour and I wondered if I could make it through! But, I did and I'm not ashamed to say I took a few "breaks" that consisted of a gentle bounce in place on the trampoline, to keep the heart rate up, until I felt ready to JUMP back into the class. I truly enjoyed the class and hope to visit again as they offer a few other upbeat ways to practice fitness.
