Good luck! But if you don't mind, what is Zumba? (I could Google it, but I'm lazy. And I think your answer would be more interesting. )

I took Zumba when I lived in a different city where my gym offered it, it was awesome!

I'm taking my first ballet and modern dance class today. It's 2 classes back-to-back, so I hope I don't die from exhaustion - my endurance is still below what it was pre-surgery. Beginner ballet's gotta be pretty low-impact, but I'm not sure what to expect from modern dance.

Dave -

Zumba is kind of like latino aerobics on crack lol. It was sooooo much fun and I had absolutely no freaking clue what I was doing! But.....it was an hour of exercise, most of it cardio lol, can't ask for better than that. :001_smile: If I can still walk and go to work tomorrow haha, then I am going to go again on Saturday.

Blackberry - I am not anywhere near graceful for a ballet class - but I hope you enjoy it!

Thanks, Kathy. I may have to check whether something like that is happening around my area. I'm a lousy dancer, latin or otherwise, but I totally subscribe to one of life's "no apologies" concepts:

"Dance like no one is watching." :001_smile:

chilo -

DO IT!!!!! You will totally love it!! I had absolutely no idea what I was doing and when the music started, I thought "oh man I am so screwed!" I am soooo out of shape and can hardly exercise without feeling like I am going to have a stroke, but you know what? I made it through the whole hour! And it was so fun! And when I walked out of that studio to my car, I had a big ole grin on my face because for once in my life I DIDN'T QUIT!

I am excited to try Zumba. I have friends left and right always commenting about it on FB and it sounds like so much fun!

Still at it - went to another class tonight and it was alot of fun. I am looking forward to the day when I am more flexible and can move better.
