I've tried a couple of new activities lately. Last year I took a women's learn-to-play basketball program that I am continuing into this year. Since I was a kid, I have always wanted to be able to play team sports, but never had the confidence to try. This has been a great group to learn with. We are mostly all complete beginners, and probably mid-thirties and up, just based on my guess. The program is a good mix of drills and scrimmages, with the instructor taking time to explain position play and strategies. My dream would be to one day be good enough to play in a recreational league, but I have a ways to go.
The other new activity I started this year was a hip-hop dance class. Again, I have always wished that I could dance, and I thought hip-hop looked fun. I found a nearby beginners class and worked up the nerve to join. None of the participants have much dance experience, but of course some people just naturally have more rhythm than others and have knack for picking up choreography. This would not be me. Sadly, years of following step choreography doesn't really translate all that well into hip-hop. I am enjoying it, though, and everyone is really only there to have fun. I just bought a couple of Madonna Grimes DVDs to see if I can practice those at home to help.

Pau!a, that is great! You may find Jennifer Galardi's dvds easier to follow than Madonna Grmes, or try Shaun T's Hip Hop Abs.

Does "new" pertain to the past 6 months?
If so, over the summer I tried SUP yoga, and in September I tried ropes yoga (avatar; see profile pics for more). I loved both! I was afraid of the SUP yoga mainly b/c I didn't want to fall in, but I didn't. I would love to do it again! The next thing I want to try is acro yoga. So apparently I am willing to try new yoga-related fitness activities! I am willing to try other new stuff too but haven't had the opportunity of late.
