Zumba Kicked My Ass

I don't know that any single pore of my body didn't sweat tonight at Zumba class.  Basically, it is various forms of dance, set to music for an hour.  I was moving, grooving, shaking, sweating and having a blast.  The good news is that it really goes fast, because of the focus on the dance moves and getting them right.  The bad news is that you know how long you've been there because at the end, your shirt can stand up and walk itself home after. 

The instructor apparently used to be 180 lbs after the birth of her two children but used Zumba to get back into shape.  Given that she has a totally cute shape, I'd love to follow her lead on this :)

Good day at work overall. 

Not much to report.

Athena attempts Zumba ...

for all of 7 minutes.

Okay, I signed up for a Zumba class at work. Seeing as I get free tuition as of this semester, I thought a class which could be a stress relief is a good choice. Today was the start of class and unfortunately, I had a meeting that ran right over the class, all but the last 7 minutes.

Two observations:

1. I'm gonna sweat like a whore in church in this class

2. I'm just as uncoordinated as I've ever been.

Group fitness classes have never been my forte. The last group fitness class I took was Yoga and I ended up falling over mid-pose, snickering a bit, then when shushed, I began howling with laughter. Needless to say, my Yoga class days were over and my welcome in that class was worn out.

Next Tuesday, 5-6, try again. I'll keep you posted.
