I just created a Live Vision Workshop and one of the areas we reviewed was our fitness goals for 2010. Yes, I’m just like everyone else who wants to improve their physical appearance. My focus this year is to increase my flexibility and strength.
I looked for a group fitness option that worked with my schedule and this Zumba class was at the right time on Monday morning- so off I went!
First of all there are about 24 ladies in the class, the instructor is a beautiful blond in her 20’s and there’s only one other newbie, I’m going to call her Freckles! She and I immediately find each other and decide to dance side by side. My first clue I’m in over my head is that the instructor does not have a microphone- it’s all visual cues! I follow along the best I can as Freckles and I run into each other, ALOT!!! I noticed by the second song I have a permanent smile pasted to my face- this is fun, I look goofy, and the music keeps you going.
By the end of the class I’m sweating and breathing heavily. I feel a little sexier as the latin music and moves are very provocative. Once I know what I’m doing I may invest in one of those cute mini skirts the 20 year olds were wearing. Finally, Freckles and I compare battle wounds and high five! It was a great way to start my week!!!
