Yesterday morning I went to my weekly kick boxing class, but to mix things up, the instructor taught a capoeira class. Capoeira is a Brazilian martial arts that is really intricate and looks like a dance between partners. You can YouTube it if you'd like to see a performance of it. It's beautiful to watch.
I lived for four years in Brazil and never ever took a capoeira class.
And after one class of it, I know why.
You hurt like CRAZY afterwards.
There's a lot of squatting and core control so my legs and back hurt like nobody's business today.
For great exercise and a body that will still do some of these moves, even if it's not pretty and looks NOTHING like real capoeira, I am truly thankful.
