\"\"<\/a>When you are intimated, overwhelmed or frustrated in a group exercise class, should you give up and opt for the elliptical or stick with it, hoping you’ll pick it up?<\/p>\n

Simple answer: Three Strike Rule!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Most class styles, formats and instructors take some time to adjust to. \u00a0I’ve never taken a class – dance, workout or otherwise – that I wasn’t lost and confused for at least part of it. \u00a0Remember that most everyone else in the class is a regular, which means they know the flow of the class and have probably learned ‘the standards’ used by the instructor. Give yourself at least 3 classes before moving on and deciding that kickboxing\/spin\/step is not for you. \u00a0Keep in mind, personality plays a big role in a class so if the instructor isn’t speaking your language on cues or motivation, then simply take action and find one that does!<\/p>\n
