Getting fit

Posted by Janice on August 16, 2009

One of the drawbacks to being a school bus driver is that it is largely sedentary. I’ve noticed that when I am driving my bus run, it isn’t too long before my legs and knees, back and shoulders start to bother me. Those buses are NOT designed for the driver to be comfortable! When I am finished with my run and get out of my seat, I can barely walk!

So I’ve decided that maybe I should exercise more, thinking that if I am more physically fit that I would be less crippled up by driving the bus. The trouble is that I hate to exercise! A good friend of mine has suggested that I take some belly dancing classes with her. She told me that she has been taking belly dance classes in Winchester for a couple of months now and that it has helped her lose an inch off of her waist and improve her posture, too! She said that belly dancing is so much fun that she is in a good mood for several days after the class, and that it doesn’t seem like exercise at all! I went online to see if I could find any belly dance classes in Virginia that were closer to where I live, but I couldn’t find any. So maybe I’ll join my friend and carpool up there with her to the class she takes. It’s probably more fun to take a class with a friend anyway!
