ZUMBA!

My Zumba buddies, Denise and Kelly and Fabio!

This past January, I was introduced to the hottest craze in fitness at this time....ZUMBA! My friend Trish had recently gotten her certification as an instructor and just kept talking about it! One night, she came into church to pick up her son from scouts and had just finished a class! She was covered in sweat, full of energy and her calorie tracker read that she had burned 1,000 calories! So, I didn't just try it, I pulled several of my co-workers into it and we hired Trish to come to work 3 days a week and teach us! Eventhough it was hard for me at first and I had to overcome some shyness about shaking my hips and shoulders, I was instantly hooked! The music is fun, the dancing is fun, the friends are fun and the workout is amazing!

Today, I attended my first 2 hour Zumba Master Class with an amazing instructor Fabio Barros. I had done a couple of 2 hour classes already, so I knew I could do it, but I knew it would be hard! I have to say, that it was just a ton of fun! I did sweat alot and I'm a little sore right now, but it really didn't even seem like a workout! Just alot of fun! One of these days, I'll get the belly dance numbers down! :)
