gymboree

Hello, muffins! Thanks for the bellydance updates, Kelly and Sarah -- my gym has started offering those classes to, so apparently b.d. is becoming quite the phenomenon. And Amy, I like your suggestion that K & S provide some video of their class -- that is cruel and unusual but also very appealing! And, finally, Beth: I am both impressed and inspired by your situp scheme; that's an exercise I hate but could definitely use, so I'm going to try to incorporate 25/day for starters.

I'm just back from the gym (Saturday): 30 minutes on the elliptical plus some weights, including a new scheme I have to do some focused rehab on my ankle with a couple of different calf machines. So I'm happy about that, but in the interests of full disclosure must confess that I did not make it to the gym yesterday -- I opted for mental rather than physical health by taking in "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" with a friend. For what it's worth, I'd recommend it: A-/B+.
