But before this time, I want to remind us, weights sucked. During an average aerobics class, if someone was like, give me $119.99 and I’ll steal every dumbbell from your metro area, people would be like, what’s your Venmo name? Trust me, this was the case. Especially in the “fun” dance cardio classes, the instructors led the “strength” portion with weights like they were under a legal obligation to do so. I would often sneak out to get water and dally.
So it was a surprise to find a seemingly normal, fun cardio dance class, on a “virtual hub” through FORWARD__Space, with a weights section that wasn’t screaming to be skipped. It was not dreaded! It was great. The FORWARD class energy is rave-y and athletic in an equal partnership — like so equal as a coupling that when they leave the dinner party, everyone’s like: HUH. Well suited!! They make each other better.
Of course, because I was so happy and foolish the first time I did the FIRE class, I got too into it and I used eight-pound weights, when they really should have been like two-pounds. I majorly overdid it, which should maybe be my tag line. Even so, it feels good to work too hard sometimes! That’s been rare recently.
