My First Zumba

I finally made it to a zumba class! WOW! It was a lot of fun and I'm happy to say that somewhere, waaaay down deep in my brain, I vaguely remember how to dance. I don't remember the last time I sweated so much...we're talking dripping down my ponytail onto my back here! Funny, if I were working out on my own, I'd never work that hard, but there's some pride involved in being in a class setting, isn't there?! I still had to take it down a notch a few times and just mark things out, but I hung in there and I am looking forward to going back next week.

The music was mostly latino, and made me crave chips and salsa. There was some hip hop type of music, too, and I wasn't listening to the words much, but I did catch a great line: "I throw down the law, just like Moses." I almost started laughing (but I would have had to have breath to do that!) out loud.

Note to Rebecca D: I first read about zumba on your blog. I kept thinking of you today, too, wishing you were there. I bet you do all the "whoo-oo's," doncha?! ;) That class would be a blast to take with a friend...as long as it was a friend you could laugh with and not at!
