There's a new class at gym called Sh'bam, and Charlotte and I went to it last night.
Charlotte thinks I invited her along for the comedy value which is so NOT true. I invite her to body pump for the comedy value.
Did I ever tell you that story?
The first time she came her weight rolled off and across the room, which had me in fits. As it was her fist time she was advised to only lift 1.25kg which just had me in stitches because half way through she threw the bar down as it was too heavy.
Anyway... we rock up to Sh'bam and it looks like they're already into it. There are loads of ladies in the semi dark, busting some pretty cool moves.
We um and ah and check both phones for correct time. Yup only 5.55pm. Sh'bam due to start at 6pm. Debate whether pushing Charlotte in to the actual room to ask the instructor but thought that was quite mean.
So instead I asked another lady (who also started body pump last week and is only lifting 1.25kg and finding it hard... I know this because we had a 30 minutes session on correct posture and weights before class last Sunday and after the 30 minutes of us barely doing any lifting she opted to go to .50 kg)
She informed us it was a Zumba class going on and yes Sh'bam started at 6pm.
She said she did it last week and enjoyed it but had no coordination and ended up pretty much doing what she liked!
A girl after my own heart me thinks.

So most of the ladies who were doing Zumba stayed and did Sh'bam ... the instructor was...... matrix lady (remember her?! I'll give you a clue "new girl stick your bum out")
Charlotte and I opt to go at the back and we're off, for those that don't know basically Sh'bam from what I watched on good old You Tube is exercise moves to dance music.... Or so it should be. Gulp....

Well let me tell you I have NEVER gyrated in any of my classes before. Especially NOT to the theme from frozen "Let it go" not that I've watched the film but every body knows the theme right?
So there I am gyrating to let it go and matrix lady is bellowing "LET IT GO LADIES, LET IT GO" let what go? I'm shaking and gyrating there's nothing more I can let go of? I'm cringing because I'm feeling sorry for Charlotte seeing me gyrating and thrusting while trying to flick my hair.
I'm laughing because everyone in the room is literally looking like they are all being electrocuted.
Then the song changes to Party Rock by LMFAO, and we are doing punches to the side while still gyrating whilst incorporating some knee lifts and hair flicks.
(Are you picturing this?!!!!)
Then after a while of doing this matrix lady starts to do the running man. I am not kidding, a room full of women doing the running man with full arm movements. I am laughing so hard I have a stitch.
Matrix lady then screams at us to dance round the room. So there we all are now like demented chickens doing the running man, I spot Charlotte and she is just going round in circles, presumably to avoid eye contact with all these other middles ages ladies doing the running man (by the way I am NOT including myself in this category as I am still only 30.
I'm right in the thick of it and showing how good my running man is whilst incorporating my very own moves.
It felt like I was at some sort of private rave with Charlotte minus the white gloves, shell suits and glow sticks.
Matrix lady is then back on the stage and screaming at us to come closer as she can't smell us. Why she wanted to smell us I do not know but we all did the running man towards her only to be screamed at to "PUSH IT BACK LADIES, PUSH IT BACK"
Make up your mind matrix lady. Sigh
We then have a change of song which I've forgotten but we are suddenly told to "DRIVE THE CAR" so we all with arms outstretched pretend to drive a car.
We do this for a few minutes before we are then running from one side to another whilst more gyrating.
The last song we then do some ballet moves which are quite calming .... except for Matrix lady wants more head flicking spins and thrusts. The spins were making me dizzy so I just stood and thrusted..
Charlotte was spinning her little heart out and was doing a good job.
I was glad to see that the lady we were talking to at the start of Sh'bam was like she said "doing her own thing". She was in front of us and had her electrocution dance down to a tee!!

So people... If you get the opportunity please go to Sh'bam... If only for entertainment value. I cannot wait for the next class.
I may try and wear the go pro so I show you what it's really like.
