It's safe to say I can be described as very indoorsy. I don't like to be too cold, I don't like to be too hot. I especially don't like to be cold and hot at the same time (like wearing a coat and sweating during a snowball fight with your cousins). These requirements make it difficult for me to understand why laying on the couch with my cats isn't the most satisfying use of my time.
But, I have been trying to figure out how to get some form of exercise into my life for a few years now. I've tried gyms and studios and classes and I've found that the best things for me are classes I can walk to (or easily get to with ample parking, a rarity in Seattle) that charge a fee for not coming. I also like to go on walks in general, and with Total Wine within walking distance of my new house, that's become an expensive hobby.
I used to go to a few different yoga and Pilates studios near our apartment in Queen Anne, and I'd get small packages of classes when I could, not wanting to invest $100+ in sweating. Not to mention the outfits I would need to look cute struggling next to the obviously toned and wealthy chicks on either side of me.
So when ClassPass came to me and offered both a free month (full disclosure) and access to tons of different studios in Seattle, I said "Okay, let me get through my mom's wedding and a big event at work and I'm yours." More to come on the wedding.
And here I am.
I'm back. And I'm ready to embarrass myself at studios around Seattle (and maybe even one in Boston) for the next month.
It's now been a few months since we've moved, so I need to figure out my new fitness routine. It's gotten to the point where my body legitimately wants to move more and I feel strong urges - that I suppress - to get up in meetings and do jumping jacks. That's not healthy.
Follow along with me as I whine, complain and *glisten* around town. $79/month. Unlimited classes. No place more than three times. I'm not in it to make friends, anyway. I'll be tweeting, and may even throw in an Instagram or two. Who knows, maybe I'll surprise myself and really enjoy a few of the things I try. If you have studios in Seattle you love, I'll add them to my list!
BESOS!

And doing yoga in our living room with a little grey kitten fixated and bap bap bapping your screen isn't very helpful either.
