"I don't need to workout in a gym, I can do it for free outside!" That was my attitude before I began kickin' it with Bodycombat and the rest of the Les Mills programs. I hiked, I ran, mostly in the rain and by myself, but it kept me in shape. That was the point, right? WRONG. The gym offered so much more than physical fitness--all of the familiar faces I saw in class quickly became my friends--then morphed into an extension of my family. A year after joining the gym, I started teaching Bodycombat. Quite a turn around for someone who thought the gym was unneccessary! As a stay-at-home mom, this became my outlet, my contribution outside of the home, and a way to touch others. I achieved a level of self-worth I hadn't reached before and a "job" I am very proud of.
