Lately I've been pushing myself to do some things outside of my normal comfort zone. I think it's good for me as I tend to sit in the same chair, eat in the same restaurants, order the same crab cakes (we live in Maryland, for Heaven's sake!)
Today, I altered my cardio workout a bit -- only did 35 minutes on the elliptical and about 20 minutes of weights, but then signed up for a 55 minute
Zumba class. And as I walked downstairs to the workout rooms, I looked over my shoulder and told the attendants at the desk
to save time and just go ahead and dial 911 that I was so happy to have this opportunity. My yoga instructor had warned me to bring water and two towels and I'm glad I did. Zumba is really something! It's a Latino-ish salsa-like/ hip hop/aerobic workout.
The class was full -- had about 30 people -- very different people -- men and women, young and older folks, and some middle-aged like myself (assuming I live to 116). And the moves are really
wrong on so many levels amazing. Lots of shimmying and hip undulating. I'm going back on Friday. I figure I should be able to walk by then.
Wouldn't it be fun to have a bloggers Zumba class?
