Uh oh...what have I gotten myself into?

I just signed up for some gymnastics classes for the summer, realized there was a gym much closer to home than I thought. Figured I could use some exercise...other options I was considering were hula hoop dancing or aikido. I may be regretting this choice next week.

I'm 27, did a bit of gymnastics about 8 years ago (mostly randomly flinging myself into the foam pit, an activity I enjoyed far more than trying to climb back out), and before that hadn't done any since I was 10 or so. And even as a kid, I wasn't much good, started much too late and didn't do it often enough to be able to learn, well, *anything*. This is probably gonna hurt.

At least I've already got a jumbo sized bottle of Robaxacet.

I would prescribe Advil and a bath full of ice and you'll be fine eventually.

I am so impressed with you, let us know how it goes, we can all live vicariously through you!

After walking across a high beam a few weeks back I realise it would take a lot to get me back in the gym, that thing is terrifying, and don't get me started on my back hip circle. I thought my head was gonna fall off........

Wow, that`s a decision really - but a great one! It definately sounds like the most enjoyable options of those you had! And why not try......just in case you feel like you are not able to hold up you can still quit again and turn to another option.
I really hope it will go well though and you will truely enjoy it. Keep us posted on how it goes!
