Physically, I feel better and am very comfortable in a class where perfection is secondary to doing the best you can.
I exercise because its good for my mind, my body and for my general well-being. I also love to walk when its nice but its too difficult in the winter, so my exercise class keeps me moving to the music.
The Exercise class encourages me to get up in the morning and keep going, the exercises help keep my bones strong and my balance has improved, I enjoy it!
No regrets that I chose to stop being a couch potato and get back into the real world. The Exercise class gives me an entirely different perspective on life!
