Finally a post on time! TODAY marks the end of my procrastination and late posting! :)
I've started going to Zumba classes at the gym as I'm able to as part of my exercise routine. I really enjoy it. It's a fun way to work out without feeling like you're working out. Here are some things I learned tonight as danced my way to a skinnier me...
1. I do not have even one ounce of Latin in my body.
2. If you haven't had any kind of rhythm your whole life don't think it will suddenly come to you as you dance in front of a room full of people.
3. My hips are firmly attached to the...ummm...rest of my body?? They will not move by themselves, no matter how much coaching you try to give me.
4. I can only move one thing at a time. (Refer back to #3). My whole body is firmly attached to itself, so I can not move the booty in one direction and the abs in another and the shoulders in a third. It just isn't happening.
5. I learned that I am very thankful that there are people who are worse dancers than me.
6. I learned that standing behind the person who is struggling worse than you are helps take some of the attention of how bad you are.
7. I sometimes get my left and right confused.
8. I absolutely need the instructor to be facing the same direction I am for me to follow her. If you face me I get all confused about whether the left or right side should be the one moving.
As I'm sure you can imagine I am quite the sight at my Zumba classes. But it is fun and good exercise. And we all need a little lesson in humility every now and then, right??? :)
