Zumba

I'm going to Zumba my brains out tonight. I have not got to go in 2 weeks, last week had way to much homework, and Tuesday night I had to clean house as company was coming, but I'm going tonight no matter what. You ask what is Zumba? It is a combination of salsa, hip hop, and belling dancing all mixed into a high energy aerobic work out. It is a great cardio exercise. It goes for an hour and we dance to about 15 songs or so. I have been doing it about a year now. A friend of mine talked me into going. I thought OK I will try it once and now I'm hooked. I was worried I looked stupid the first couple of times I went, but soon realized that no one was paying attention to me, like me they were paying attention to the teacher so they would know what the next step was. After a few times I convinced my mom to come with me, I thought she will go once and that will be it. Now, I have her hooked she actually gets to go more than me now. She has invited some of her friends and now we have a pretty big crowd that goes every Tuesday and Thursday night. Our instructor is great, she has such a great heart and is so talented. We call her the Energizer Bunny, she keeps going and going, while we are all about ready to collapse. Some nights I have to force myself to go, but when I'm there I have a great time and I feel so much better afterwords. I enjoy this kind of work out as you really don't feel like you are working out.   You are having so much fun, oh yea and it is air conditioned that always helps this time of the year.
