I love just plunging in and doing something I'd normally be too scared to do - you know the feeling where you find yourself striding forwards while your brain is thinking, "What the heck am I doing?!?".
Trouble is, the confidence to do that doesn't come around all that often if you're a bit, erm, quiet like I am.
But if it does, go stride out, grab that instructor (well, not physically - unless he's willing of course

) and get on the
weights like you want to be. Or if it doesn't, just time it right for the lady instructor - so long as you get what you want! lol
Glad it's all going well and keep it up
