Zumba, Zumba!


This morning I went to my first Zumba class. It was AMAZING to say the least. The music was hoppin, the instructor was letting us shake our grove thang, and I burnied 1000 calories in an hour. I think it was proabably the best work out I have ever had, and I don't think I have sweated that much ever. Good thing I put on extra deoderant before I went, or no one would have wanted to stand by me. Zumba is a cardio aerobic exercise that is all latin based. The creator is from Columbia, and over the last 10 years has put together this cardio exercise that is latin dancing. As I was huffing and puffing, and thinking my legs were on fire, I thought to myself"no wonder those latin girls have rocking bods, they dance like this all the time." After talking to my instructor, who had a phenominal body, she said she had never done dancing before, and she had 6 kids. I almost fell over when she told me that. She could have fooled me! She said she started doing Zumba, and like it so much that she became an instructor. She was so good, and really gave me a great work out. I am hooked! So I signed up for my monthly classes of 3 times a week, bought a tank top that says Zumba across it, and am ready start latin dancing.
