Alright, I just have to share my newest "obsession." I recently started working out again and decided to try the Zumba class at our gym. Zumba is a dance fitness class that is based mostly on latin dance. I've heard great things about it but was always too afraid because I've never been a dancer! But, my co-worker, Alicia, and I decided to go together for moral support.
I figured I would be the most uncoordinated and funny-looking person in the room since I have absolutely no experience in following choreography! But to my incredible surprise, I had a blast and didn't do too bad! I've only done 2 classes so far but I'm already not having to stare at my instructor's feet the ENTIRE time. Surprisingly, I'm getting the feet down just fine and today I was able to tap into my inner "dancer" and allow myself to dance and not just do the steps.
This video is one of the exact routines we do in my class...and one of the more difficult ones for me since there's a lot of different movements and belly-dance type moves that I've never done.
I showed Del this video too and he shook his head and goes "wow...I'll just stick to lifting weights." haha. I highly recommend Zumba to anyone looking for a fun and GREAT workout. It was nice to know I can look like an idiot, laugh at myself and still have fun.
I'll second that everyone should try this; it is SO much fun!! Been doing it for about 5 months now and i'm still loving it and it is nice to mix in with regular working out!! So glad you finally tried it and love it as much as I do!!
