Zumbaaaaa

I'm not the first to admit, but zumba kicked my ass! It's the most intensive exercise I've had in maybe 5 years when I stopped doing dance regularly. I was somewhat physically active during summer camp which I was in up until 2 years ago, so this was a major leap for me. I'm hoping to stick with it. Needless to say, after finishing with my abs burning and my ankles hurting (wtf!?), I'm really glad I paid for a full month BEFORE the class actually started.

It was a lot of fun with the fast paced music, although the instructor, of course, moved twice as fast as my mind could even go, because right when I would get a move, she would change it. Please ignore my long sentences. I've noticed that since coming back from Zumba I can't speak properly, but it's probably adrenaline or something. I saw a spider before going in, which definitely set my mind at ease *sarcasm hand is raised*

Every two songs or so there'd be a 30 second water break, which as luck would have it, ended up pushing me towards the back of the class where the teacher was even less visible, making the zumba experience that much better! I either need to dehydrate for an hour OR strap a water bottle to my hip, which will most likely explode while I shake my hips like a banshee =P

There's a weight challenge where if you lose 10 pounds within a month, you'll get $100. So if the money I put down for the lessons isn't enough to make me push myself off the couch/bed then maybe that will! So far though, so good! Can't wait till the next time it's going on! I'm prepared to be sore in the morning, but in the meantime, I will sleep like a log =]
