Attempted Zumba yesterday...

Nov 03, 2014

Well, I have always thought that Zumba looked like a fun way to get some exercise, so I bought some used DVDs off Craigslist and gave it a try yesterday afternoon!!  It was fun :) but I have to say, I am SO GLAD I did not attempt for the first time in public!!  I was only using the "learning" disc, where they teach you the steps for the different types of dances. Now let me also say that even at my heaviest, I have ALWAYS had rhythm!!  I can sing, dance and have run a karaoke business in the past, so I am not incapable of learning this!! However, the pace is what got me, as well as  the arthritis in my knees!!  I could do the steps, even at the fastest pace, but I only lasted about 15-20 minutes before I was too pooped to keep going!!  Anyway, at least I tried it and plan to do some more tonight when I get home from work!!  Believe it or not, my knees don't hurt as bad as they usually do!!   My kids even tried to do it with me and my 4 year old daughter kept up pretty well until they got to the fastest music - then she just stopped and watched me do it with a big smile on her face!!  And that smile was worth looking like an idiot!! :)
