So last week I went to our community center here in town and started doing Zumba. Honestly, can I just say how much I LOVE it!!!! Yea, I am very white and don't have a whole lot of rhythm...or know how to shake my hips very well... But I can honestly say Zumba has started helping me with it. For those of you who don't know what Zumba is, it's a dance fitness class that uses all different sorts of dances (meringue, samba, hip-hop, reggaeton, etc). It's awesome cause by doing this I'm working my hips, thighs, abs, everything and I don't even realize just how much of a work out they are getting. I admit I tend to be a little sore the next day(usually my legs), but I keep pusing. I only did it 2 times last week, then this week I started doing zumba toning as well as normal zumba 2 times each this week. Zumba toning is normal dancing zumba but there are these little weights that you use while doing the dancing... At first you think, oh these weights are light. I can handle this... as the class goes on those 'light' weights feel so heavy! But honestly, I have never been so excited to go workout. And the best part is I'm burning TONS of calories! Another benefit of zumba is it's helping with my depression. I've felt so much happier since I started doing this! I'm definitely going to keep this up as long as I possibly can.
