ZUMBA!

This morning  I was talking to a friend on the phone and telling her how much I want to try ZUMBA but I'm afraid of not knowing how to do it and basically keeping up with everyone.  She said that LA Fitness has a class and that I should look at the schedule.  Still on the phone, I walked over to look at the schedule (that I never use) and noticed there was a class in 10 minutes!  My friend said, "GO"!  I hung up the phone, brushed my teeth and ran out the door with a bottle of water.  I didn't have time to get nervous because I had to rush to the gym, which is across the street.

What is Zumba?  Zumba is a fitness class that combines dance and fitness moves.  Inspired by Latin dance and music, Zumba uses a variety of styles in its routines, including cumbia, merengue, salsa, reggaeton, mambo, rumba, flamenco, and hip hop. Music selections include both fast and slow rhythms to help tone and sculpt the body. You could burn between 350 to 900 calories PER class, BUT it all depends on how you exert yourself.

Physically burning between 300-900 calories in one hour is totally a win for me.  Mentally it helped relieve stress, and stimulated my brain by learning coordination and new steps.  Plus it makes me smile and sweat at the same time.  After one class I'm hooked and can't wait to attend another class.  Looks like I'm adding another compulsive behavior to my list. 

Out with the old (Diet Coke Addict) in with the new (Zumba Addict).

If you haven't tried this class I highly recommend it.  There's no time like NOW. 

That's what friends are for - ENCOURAGEMENT!
