We toured a gym over the weekend. But to call this place a gym would be putting all other gyms to shame.<\/p>\n
This place has it all.<\/p>\n
Tennis. Two pools. A splash pad.<\/p>\n
Four exercise rooms. Two dedicated rooms for yoga. One for hot yoga.<\/p>\n
A spa.<\/p>\n
A cafe.<\/p>\n
Oh, and did I mention daycare?<\/p>\n
That’s right. They have a cool kid area for kids to come hang out while their parents exercise (or, let’s be real, get a pedicure).<\/p>\n
We toured it.<\/p>\n
It’s, of course, the most expensive thing on earth.<\/p>\n
But we joined, because hey daycare! Maybe Brent and I can… I don’t know, play racquetball together or something?<\/p>\n
Yesterday was the first day I went to exercise with Clara.<\/p>\n
Dropping her off was no big deal. Here are her snacks, see you in a bit, Peanut! (Although the kid zone is peanut-free, naturally, so she was the only peanut there).<\/p>\n
I dropped my things off at the world’s fanciest locker room and headed upstairs.<\/p>\n
I’d misread the schedule, so I thought there was a Vinyasa flow at 9:15.<\/p>\n
What I found instead were two options: a restorative class or a heated yoga class.<\/p>\n
Which should I have chosen?<\/p>\n
Probably restorative, since I hadn’t been to yoga in over two months.<\/p>\n
“Go for the heated class,” whispered Ego.<\/p>\n
You can probably see where this is going.<\/p>\n
I made it about 45 minutes through, then simply laid on the floor, like a dead fish, for the rest of class.<\/p>\n
And when I went to pick up Clara, I couldn’t hold her up very long.<\/p>\n
The next day, I was sore in places I didn’t know were muscles. I told Brent that we should have joined a crappier gym first so I could get in good enough shape to work out with the fit people at fancy gym.<\/p>\n
He laughed, said that wasn’t a thing.<\/p>\n
As we left the gym, Clara said, “bye bye play!” which I interpreted as a ringing endorsement.<\/p>\n
I’m going back today, and every day that makes sense in our schedule.<\/p>\n
And one day, I’ll be able to do all the poses in the 60 minute class.<\/p>\n
But not today.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
