After an hour of an upper body work, I took my third Zumba class this evening. I was feeling pretty 'noodley' after pull-ups and free weights, but I needed to get some cardio in, and I do so love to salsa.
The hard thing about Zumba is that many of the moves are "sassy" in nature, and while I'm quick to catch on, I must admit that I don't look as smooth as our instructor. Granted, I understand that she's been doing this a lot longer than I, and that she comes from a Latin background, and that she has a super-cute figure that actually looks good doing those moves. I mentioned to my friend Carol tonight that all the rump-shaking painfully reminds me that my body is much like jello. But, that doesn't stop me. I keep my gaze in the mirror to a minimum, concentrate on the steps, and keep my body moving.
Someday, I'll have that jiggle down to a minimum.
I haven't had the opportunity to do the Zumba class yet, the day I was prepared I had misread the calendar so it wasn't held that day; so I did a spin class...anyway, keep on dancin' and good luck :)
