Am I the last person in the Triangle to participate in “The Original Fitness-Party” better know as Zumba?

I actually took my first Zumba class two weeks ago and loved it. In my class there was a mix of ages from 20 years olds to baby boomers to seniors. There was this wonderful senior taking the class and guess what….she was 81 years old!  Needless to say, I am heading out to take the class again this evening at 5:30 and have added this salsa, merengue and hiphop music dance craze to my to-do list every Tuesday.  Do I have goals with taking this class? Yes: my goal is to increase my cardio efforts, breathing, lose 2 dress sizes……..yes, I did share……and to tone in areas that are not so friendly anymore. 

If you haven’t taken a Zumba class yet, I strongly suggest you find a location in your community and join in. It’s so much fun, and the music and dance moves make the hour go so quickly. The moves can be modified if needed, and when you finish you feel the workout, but not in a bad way. I had more energy when I finished the class than I did when I started. 

Go Zumba!!!  Who wants to join me for a class next week? Just shoot me an email at pat@chapelboro.com. See you on the dance floor!!
