Report on First Zumba Class!

OK, I am old, uncoordinated and have no sense of rhythm.  My butt does not wiggle that way, and my chest certainly doesn't! 

I was a little overwhelmed and I felt an idiot.  But I made it through the class and it did go by quickly.  And I did sweat!

We have committed to at least 4 classes.  I'll let you know after the 4th class how it feels!

That is how i felt the first class it gets easier the more you go, and itnis so much fun!

I hope so!  Thanks for the encouragement.

I want to Zumba as soon as my feet are recovered from surgery.  I can't wait to hear your updates. Keep us informed!

My gf said it hurt her arches a little - she has more feet issues than I do.  I found it a little hard on my back - probably because of sticking out my tail feathers and trying shake like an idiot.

WOW! That's awesome - it sounds like a great way to get exercise without the normal treadmill/bike, etc. I will try it one day, i swear!

Great job!

I still can't get over your spinning!  That seems like the hardest thing in the world to me.  I want to hire her to give us a private lesson on the footwork.

I've been doing Zumba since early May.  My sister, who is an exer-holic, told me to commit to five classes.  No matter how bad I hate it or how stupid I feel, etc, I have to commit to five classes.  And I did.  In the first class I sucked big time!  My greatest acheivement was that I didn't have pass out or even have to sit down.  Since then I've gotten better and better, but I'm not going to be winning any dance contests!! 

I like Zumba because it's fun.  The music is catchy and fun.  Pitbull ROCKS!!  I find myself downloading some of the music so I can listen to it at other times.

The hour-long class (an hour and 15 minutes on Saturday morning) goes by way faster than 30 minutes on the treadmill.  I sweat my ass off and burn lots of calories.  A couple of weekends ago I went out dancing for the first time in forever and I swear my dancing skills had gotten better!

This is the first time in my life that I have ever been committed to any kind of exercise.  To me that says it right there!

Have fun!!  You'll love it!!

It was tiring, that's for sure.  But I get so bored on a treadmill!  I'll keep trying...

I Zumba 3 times a week. If there was a class every night I would be there. After the first couple of classes the only people you notice is the instructor and yourself. Stick with it. It will melt inches FAST! I burn upwards of 1000 calories each class! I loooooooooooooooooove me some Zumba!
