Great job! It is never too late! Keep it up.

I am still at it. I am making it to all my cardio dance-exercise classes M, W & F & trying some new classes when I get time. I got my computerized fitness assessment but was not too impressed by it. Other than adding a simplistic flexibility assessment, I probably get more accurate numbers on my electronic scales at home that calculate not only weight but % fat, muscle & water (I know, not fully accurately). They did use electronic calipers but the equipment seemed pretty old. He showed me some of the weight equipment but not as helpful as I would have liked. It also did not help that they took my blood pressure right after I came out of my dance class so that was off.

I went to part of a class that was weight training & it seemed pretty good but I could only make that particular one if my last clients cancelled. I will check & see if that class is offered another time that I can attend more regularly. What I need is a weight training buddy that I could meet at the gym for some weight training days. Or maybe just a personal trainer to come & work with me a day or 2 to get me started on a routine & help me tweak it as needed. I'll get it going though one way or another.
