I Like Working Out with a Group

[Angela]

I know this is going to come as a shock to many of you but I do like working out with a group.  I am not as excited about working out by myself.  Our new addition to the New Beginnings Team Ms. Lindia the Certified Personal Trainer is encouraging me in this area.  On our home page for this week The Fitness Angel tells us to pray about working out.  Ms. Lindia took this a step further and reminded me to pray while I walk.  This was a tremendous encouragement to me as that is what I use to do all the time.  It was my uninterrupted prayer time.  Try it and then try some exercise DVDs or Fitness Angel Videos.  They do help, when you can't be with a group. 

I am going to be looking for an exercise partner over the next few weeks.  That will suffice when a group is not available or you don't want to pay for a class.

I have been working out with The Fitness Angel's Bootcamp Group on Monday, Wednesday and Saturdays.  It is a real cardio/toning class.  He does a lot of fat burning cardio and toning at the same time.  The thing I really like about it is that while he pushes you to do your best, there is no pressure to do somebody else's best.  If you are in the Phoenix area and need a change or challenge come out and join us at the South Mountain Community Center on Alta Vista between Central Avenue and 7th Street, Monday and Wednesday evenings at 6:30pm and on Saturday mornings at 8:30am.  He also has classes there on Tuesday and Thursday mornings at 9am.  The workout groups are great and they are fun for all fitness levels.

Any body can workout with The Fitness Angel.  It is a great way to get jump started if you feel like you are in need of a boost.  If you want to see some video of the work out group check them out on the NB Fitness Community Site www.mynbfitnesscommunity.com

The other thing I like about the group workouts are the relationships you make with others that are just like you.  Trying to lose the weight or just getting into better physical condition.  I have made some good friends in the class, which has lead to our walking to get some addtional cardio after each workout session.
