My first OTF experience

So my first OTF experience was probably not the best experience of my life. I had read as much online as I could before my first session and I thought I might know what to expect, but I really didn't.

I was super nervous because I knew I was not in very good shape, but I had to start somewhere. I was also nervous about a 60 minute class. Sure I could work out for an hour, but not at a high-intensity. I got there early for my orientation and met the coach for that class prior to the workout. She went through everything super fast and I felt really lost during the workout (despite everything I know about working out) but I survived. I joined for the 8x a month plan and I figured I could always quit if I hated it.

I sucked on the rower and I hated it. It was so hard! It does not look that hard.

I figured that if I could run for 30 minutes without stopping that I would be able to do that in this class. NOPE! I had to walk for periods of time even though I wasn't even going at "jogger" speeds (OTF has suggested speeds for power walkers (and inclines), joggers, and runners).

After the first class, I felt like I might throw up and I had to sit in my car for a few minutes before I could actually get the mindset to drive. I was also the most sweaty that I think I had ever been. #sweatonsweat
