The Fittest Fun House Mirror

Survival of the Fittest, I really think that should be the name of the Step Class I attend.  I've noticed that my endurance is getting better which means that I am getting fitter. If I wanted a stroll in the park then I wouldn't be at the Step Class.  I just like having fun, and that means that I sometimes exaggerate for effect to make things humorous. I love making people laugh.

A passing conversation with the Boot Camp Queen before class had some nice surprises.  Not only did she join the Bust-A-Move Fundraiser for Breast Cancer but she also has registered to be one of the instructors leading a class. I think it's wonderful that she is able to offer her experience as a Fitness Instructor to such a good cause.

Before class the Boot Camp Queen gives a pep talk to the group about the intensity of her classes.  "I am not here to be liked.  If I were here to be liked then I wouldn't be doing my job. I am here to help you reach your goals..." her voice fades into the background as I notice my reflection in one of the mirrors.  My reflection made me look tall and fit.  Now that is some fun house mirror trick! Wow! Now to convince other people that I look that way.  It made me smile just thinking about that.   But perhaps this is a foreshadowing of sorts.  I am as tall as I am going to get, but as long as I am physically active my body will change for the better.
