Note: Whoops, I had trouble with posting this earlier. Sorry if you see it twice.
Though I enjoy hiking, biking and kayaking, I’m not big on exercise-exercise. I can’t stand running or working out in a gym, and I’m not coordinated enough to keep up with aerobics…but last night, I joined 420 of my fellow Brusselians for a workout in the park.
In the Summer, Friskis and Svettis, a local exercise club, holds free aerobics classes on Tuesday and Thursday nights (7:30PM) in Parc Cinquintinaire. I met up with Stephanie and Ali to give it a try and it was a blast!
The group was male and female, all ages, and all levels of fitness. We were arranged in a circle around a leader showing us the steps, everything from jumping jacks to running in circles. I can feel it in my legs today.
I’m not sure I was doing all of the moves correctly, but I tried to just keep moving for the full hour. And because it’s such a big group, no one really cares if you’re stretching right when they’re all stretching left. We had a great time and I will be back again.

That’s Awesome! I wish they had something like that in MN!!
Love your blog by the way. I enjoy seeing your travel photos.
Looks like fun with all of those people!
I think even I could enjoy exercising with a group out in the open like that. I hate exercising home alone.
