My friend invited me to join the class (all middle age women) and told me it is not the kind of exercises that would make you ache for days. I trusted her and went. It was the biggest, longest (one hour) exercise routines I have ever done! I am not terribly sore today probably due to the constant movement of the body, not bending or twisting in one same position too long.
I perspired the entire time there. I really like the workout part of it (burnt lots of calories) but am having somewhat of a hard time with the music and some of the hip movements (I just did not seem to get the twisting of my hip down - LOL!) The work-out is all about keeping with the rhythm of the Latin-tone music, perhaps that was my problem there.
Anyway, it was quite an experience. I said I would like to go back and do it again, but I am not 100% sure since Robert just started working again and it is a temp job. The class was a treat he gifted me.
If you are fit or are a dancer or just being younger, have a "fun budget" and the music does not phase you, you may enjoy this.

I am looking into different workouts and I hear everyone is doing Zumba. I'm not quite sure I want to pay for classes just yet, esp if I can't commit to going. They sound really fun though. I'm glad you got to try it out.
ReplyDeleteI tried Zumba, but never felt too comfortable with it. Just because I have no real dancing abilities. Hehe. I did also try Body Combat {which is like the hip hop form of karate} and that was awesome. I walked away feeling like I could be a secret agent with some crazy-awesome fight moves. Haha!
ReplyDeleteOooh, I've never tried Zumba, but I want to sometime soon! Although my dancing abilities are nil...hehe.
ReplyDeleteI own the Zumba DVDs and can attest to the difficulty of it. haha! You are so brave to actually go to a class...I am content to try my "moves" out in the privacy of my own home. haha! I love your try new adventures thursday post!
ReplyDeleteWhat an adventure! I have heard great things about Zumba but with my lack of coordination I think it might be a better idea for me to start out at home, wonder if there are any on netflix? Way go to!
ReplyDeleteAerobics is enough for me! I can't get my hips to move Latin-style.
