Exercise............

[Shelley64 26]

Let me say that I have always truly hated exercise. I don't think I got any endorphines when they were being handed out. I didn't play sports as a kid and I'm not very coordinated BUT I know that I have to get moving to make my band a success. I've been walking about 20-30 minutes 3 or 4 times a week but that's just not cuttin as far as speeding up my weight loss. I decided to try a Zumba class and it is the most fun I have ever had! I was so surprised that I could keep up for the most part and not drop dead of a heart attack. I certainly don't have all the steps down but I'm moving and sweating. The music if so fun and you leave on a complete high. I think I finally found out what endorphines feel like!!! If you haven't tired a class and you're looking for something fun, try Zumba. Remember this is coming from someone who HATES exercise!

Awesome, congrats! I'm scared of Zumba. I'm pretty uncoordinated

Don't be scared....It's a total blast and it doesn't matter if you don't get all the steps right. In fact, I'm so busy looking at the instructor or the person in front of me that I forget how much I'm huffing and puffing!

I tried Zumba, it's great! I walk for my exercise, I was even walking in the rain. I didn't like walking in the rain much so I searched the internet and found some great Zumba routines. I connected my computer to my TV so I would have a big screen (closest to being there I could get LOL) and voila! I was in Zumba Land! It killed my back ... but it was worth it. I thought I was going to have a heart attack... but still it was worth it. Glad you found something that you like, your journey is going to be fantastic!

Have fun!

I would love to try Zumba but I am so afraid of tripping over myself and falling on my face!

I do Zumba at least twice a week, sometimes more. Been doing it for about a year maybe? Still can't get some of the steps perfectly, but NO ONE CARES. You just go and move your body. Run in place if you can't do the more intricate ones. It's ok.. Zumba is all about doing your own thing, the instructor is just up there for guidance and inspiration.

Ditch the workout.. join the party!

Zumba Rocks I go to the YMCA 4X a week for the class. I don"t know most of the moves but I don't care I think the class is awesome. I used to hate exercise in all forms but now u cant keep me away from the gym

You don't have to be co-ordinated just move your body, work up a sweat and have loads of fun.

It's so true! I can't believe that I'm actually saying that I love it. I'm so glad I found something I'm actually looking forwar to!
