Felt like I was going to die lol. So not ready for that yet. I usually swim laps but wanted to try something new to mix things up a bit....yeah, zumba is not it lol. I'll stick to swimming laps and the elliptical.

I keep wanting to try Zumba but I haven't yet. I think I'm intimidated, mostly because I'm not in shape, at all! But I really want to get in there and shake my booty!

[Dualstarr 104]

Yeah the girl that did the clas was in AMAZING shap and had moves like you wouldn't believe. I felt it was kinda hard to keep up with but I guess you learn the moves the more you go. I know after about 30 min I was ready to search for the exit. lol Maybe I'll give it a go in thr future but for now i'm sticking to walking, yoga, swimming laps, elliptical and the stair climber...those are more my speed

[Sleevin'It 57]

Yeah, that's my speed too! Maybe I should build my stamina up and then go for it. But when I do, watch out! Booty shaking is a happenin'! Lol

I love Zumba. But one thing is for sure is that I like variety. I get bored very easily. So in order for me to stay interested, the instructor has to mix things up a bit. I can't do the samething every week. I have to mix it up or I will lose my momentum in working out. I wouldn't worry too much about being big cause there are a lot of people in ur same situation that just gets out there to have fun while exercising.

I would suggest looking for free events in your area that have dance lessons. In Los Angeles, every other Friday, they are teaching a different style of dance. It is so much fun and you are exercicing in the process. I would say make a list of things you like to do; then make an appt with urself to do one thing off that list every other day. For example: if you have to go grocery shopping, make it a point to walk arounfd the perimeter of the store before getting your groceries. After doing that for awhile, your body will get used to that and then you have to change it up so that you can trick your body into getting into the fat burning mode. Just be creative in getting in your exercise. The key is to find something you enjoy doing so that it will not feel like exercise.
