Zumba :)

Today I had my 6th workout at Curves.  Everyday I go I love it even more!!!! I even purchased a few Curves tshirts.. so now I fit right in lol  And the machines are getting easier.. I think Ive picked it up pretty quick :)  The back of my legs are killing me though but it comes with the territory.

Tomorrow morning I get to be set up on CurvesSmart.  I'm excited to get going and to have it push me.  That way Ill know if I'm doing it right!  I decided to go back today to do a Zumba class.  I wasn't sure if I would go since I was so tired after my workout.. but I couldn't resist! 

IT WAS SOOO HARD LOL   The instructor was awesome, and full of energy.. but she could move in ways that I don't think I will ever be able to!  For every one step I did she did about three.. and no matter how hard I tried my legs couldn't keep up!  Also I am so not coordinated!  Trying to move my hands and legs at the same time was a huge challenge.  Thankfully I did not feel embarrassed at all and spent most of the time laughing at myself. 

By the end my heart was pumping and I was super sweaty so I must have been doing something right!  I'm going to keep going every week.. hopefully I will pick up on the moves.  Ill also be able to practice between classes on Zumba for Wii :)  I love that its at Curves and that it is only per class.  You have the choice to Zumba the whole time, or Zumba for one min, and then to a machine for one min.  Cant wait till next week!!! I highly recommend it!!!

 I'm actually thinking about adding a Zumba class to my workout routine. It's only $10 a class and it's just right around the corner from me at a school! Glad your liking Curves!!!!

Gah!  I'm starting a Zumba class on the 21st for 10 weeks!  Now I'm asceered! LOL

I was doing it last year and I am way too uncoordinated to do it right but it still got me moving and sweating and nobody saw how stupid I looked. LOL

hehehe
I threatened my friends that I was going to buy wii zumba and practice up before the first class.  I was called out for cheating. LOL

LOL!  The sad thing is.. I do have Zumba for Wii!   And Im no better off!  I can hardly keep up with the instructional part of it let alone the actual workout!  BUT.. I will not give up.. and I know I will have to be able to pick up on it eventually!!! 

hehehe

Well, forget it then.  I'l just glom in with the rest of the clutzes.

 Good for you for trying Zumba!  It doesn't matter about your coordination its all about moving!  Good for you! 
I'm starting Zumba on Monday, we shall see how silly I look lol.
My Daughter might do it as well, oh and she's a dancer so I might look really bad! lol

As long as we are out there moving its all good.

If you have a Wii, I highly recommend the EA Sports Active program.  It is awesome!!  I did not know they had Zumba for the Wii.  Have you tried it yet?  What is the verdict.

I CANNOT wait to be able to work out!!  I have my 6-week out date marked in my calendar!  I am not a big lover of working out or anything like that, but I just enjoy the moving and knowing I will be so much more agile and comfortable working out with 40+ pounds gone.  Plus, the hubby loves the gym. :)

I go to Zumba at the YMCA twice a week. I'm addicted! It's a fun way to get in a good work-out. My 10 year old daughter joins me, so it encourages her as well. I hope everyone who is about to try it enjoys it as much as I do! You get used the moves, most of the instructors have the same dance for certain music and you'll start to remember it.
