*Never A Dull Moment*

I am blessed with the good fortune of never having a dull moment. I may get bored easily, but it's never dull.

Lately, I've been obsessed with going to my new gym. I've been incredibly adventurous and I've taken a couple classes that have all been conducted in Japanese (duh - I live in Japan). It's been fun though, as I'm learning loads of Japanese from the classes. The instructors have also all been really nice and sweet about making sure I don't feel lost in the classes.

Today's class was by far the "funnest" class I've taken. It was Balance Ball Pilates - there obviously were people in the class who'd never used a Balance Ball before.

The woman in front of me kept losing her ball. She sort of slid off the ball the first time while sitting on it... then when we went into the plank position to do the push ups, she fell off it again and kinda slid (semi-gracefully) into a yoga-esque Cobra position. The last time she lost control of the ball, was when we had the ball between our feet (as illustrated in the picture). I don't know how she did it, but she managed to practically launch the ball across the studio. I was trying so hard not to laugh - as were the other 8 people in the class. We all had some difficulty during some positions we had to get into, but we all still managed to control the ball. I have absolutely no idea what this woman's on. It definitely made for an entertaining class.

I've never enjoyed working out this much before. I don't feel fitter, nor do I think I look any different... but it's finally something I enjoy doing after work - instead of going home and vegging in front of my telly.

Ah, Japan. Always such a joy to observe the things that go on here.~
