Just took my first Zumba Class

[Patty]

I'll probably ache all over tomorrow, but it was fun. I felt like Lucille Ball trying to blend in...I was laughing at myself...but it was a lot of fun. Anyone else here go to Zumba?

I have never been to a Zumba but I have signed up for a class that my local Curves is offering next Saturday. I can't wait to give it a try ... I'm sure I will resemble Lucy myself!

I started with Zumba in April.
Had to stop for 3 months while dealing with the eye problem.
Went back on Monday, and I'll go again tomorrow.
I ordered the WII Zumba program today.
I do love it, not so good at it, but I move for one straight hour.

We have zumba classes at our gym. I tried it once and couldn't keep up; they move so fast and I lose my breath so I don't attend any more but those that do go have a fun time.

I do Zumba every Monday. Curves now has a workout that includes Zumba. It is fun.

I heard that Curves has added that!
Sounds good!

I went again this morning. I really don't enjoy not knowing what I'm doing, but as I look around I'm not the only one. There are mostly "young" ladies there...but of few of us "experienced gals." One of them actually sat on the floor for a few minutes...there is a couch, but she wasn't down long. I have tried a few other exercise methods, but this is the ONLY one where I felt I really got a good workout...talk about sweat...yuck!!! It MUST be good for me, it's so disgusting...my gs's would all laugh at me, I always tell them "gramma doesn't sweat, run or jump". I signed up for a month..we'll see how i goes. I have learned that I do better with music that I recognize. Also, some of the Latin music works for me, but I just can't get my arms and legs to work like the instructor. I think I'm gonna just not pay so much attenton to her...lots of ladies look to be doing their own thing!! As long as I'm sweatin', right? They have a "Zumba Gold" for us who are "golden"...I might check that one. Anyone know about that?

I LOVE ZUMBA Patty! I have taken 2 classes so far and I start it up again tomororw morning...bright and early!! I love it! Oh wait did I just say that? LOL...I find that I am not going the same way as alot of them, but I get a really good workout...I burn about 500 calories when I do it...(when I use my heart rate monitor I can calculate it).

I think it is great that you did it. I took one class and was hooked!

Good for you!!!

Patty, I am younger than some of the ladies , but I find that we are all in the same boat...I will go left and they will go right or they will try something different and it takes me a little bit to catch on lol...but it is funny and I just have fun with it and no one is going to say anything you know? I just have fun with it and I think the dances they do each week change...so you really never know lol..

Patty, I think it's great that you're Zumba-ing! I bet it won't be long and you'll be keepin' up with the instructor. Have fun.

I'd looked into signing up for Zumba and had very good intentions of doing it. It really looks like fun. But with my knee out of whack, it might be a bit before I can do any exercise other than walking!
