My First Experience With Zumba!

Let me just start out by saying:"Britney can bust a move!"Actually both of my daughters are excellent dancers! I'm trying to figure that out? How can this be? Bret and I are their parents and we CAN'T dance to save our lives! You've heard the phrase: "white men can't jump," well this "white" woman can't dance! I have absolutely no rhythm. I'm not sure how that happened? I'm Italian and MOST Italians CAN DANCE! :)

We walked into the Zumba dance class and we were met with big smiles from most of the ladies. Everyone was very friendly! I began to talk with some of the ladies and asked: "so do you have to have rhythm to do this?" One lady said; "oh no ... you'll be fine, just don't watch me!" I actually began to feel a little better at this point. So our instructor arrives and class begins!

I was not prepared for what was ahead! It was the hardest, yet the most fun work-out I'd ever done! Now, aside from the fact that when they went right, I went left and when the circle began moving to left, I automatically moved to the right. It was great! Britney probably burned some additional calories by laughing so hard at her mamma! But that's okay! :)

It wasn't as bad as my first aerobic workout though. After that workout I thought I was literally going to throw up! I was so sick and exhausted! This was nothing like that, but it was still an awesome workout. I would caution those who have any pride ... not to take this class. And those wretched mirrors in the room! They're awful! I think whoever developed them wanted to make the women look like oompa loompas ... just sayin! All I needed was a purple face. My face wasn't purple though ... it was BRIGHT RED by the end of class. I looked like I had a sunburn! lol

Am I going back next week? Yes sirrrreee! I really enjoyed it! I had fun and it was a great workout!
Until next time ...
Tracy :)
