My friend Deborah convinced me to join her on Tuesdays and Thursdays for a Zumba class. For those of you not familiar with the term Zumba, here's my best definition.
The word Zumba comes from a Colombian word that means to move fast and have fun. It is actually a fitness program that combines dance steps and exercises to help tone the body. While Zumba was actually inspired by Latin music, our teacher combines Latin, African tribal, and hip hop music into a crazy and fun workout.
If Jason knew I was taking this class he would laugh his head off. I am one of the world's klutziest and most uncoordinated people. Whenever the two of us a tried to dance is was a disaster. Two totally clueless dancers both trying to lead...ridiculous! He would laugh at the fact that I am actually trying to do dance steps to get exercise.
Anyway, despite my two left feet, I am enjoying the fun, crazy workout. Plus, it gives me some exercise and gets me out of the house, so for the next couple of weeks I am going to Zumba away!

Oh I really like Zumba! Andy's sister Ellie first told me about it because she's been going. Then, I found out they had Zumba classes at UofL, so I have been a few times. One time it was really awkward because the instructor brought her two boys (around 10 & 8years old) and they just sat there in the room with us. She had us do A LOT of hips moves and I felt so weird not only trying to do the moves, but also with her two young sons there! Lol, it was quite interesting. I hope you don't have that experience. But it is a lot of fun, I was excited when I read that you have been going. I like trying it and letting myself be free to just move around.
