Aerobics Class: 1, Bald Man Tom: 0

So, I caved to the pressure of one of the little old ladies at the gym, and tried an aerobics class. Lets just say that it kicked my ass.

It should be noted that I have a rhythm neurosis. Now, I'm not the most dextrous, coordinated person in the world. Yes I'm a musician, but that musical talent doesn't extend to my extremities. I used to dance a lot, and Amy and I swing dance on occasion, but I'm nowhere near light on my feet. Nevertheless, I have this uncontrollable urge to make myself move in time to the rhythm of the music. The big problem is that, at least in this case, I couldn't physically keep up. After 40 minutes, I had to sit down because I thought I was going to puke. In fact, I was nauseous for about two hours, and my knees still hurt. I mean, they hurt! Like, I'm doing the "Fred G. Sanford Shuffle" around here...

I should mention that the little old lady didn't even TRY to keep up with the beat of the music, so she didn't get winded. Dammit...
