First day back in Zumba

Omg...I feel like a failure. I made it through 30 minutes and quit. Tell me it gets easier...Pre surgery I knocked out an hour several times a week.

I never did Zumba, but I am feeling pretty energized with the running program I have started.

Maybe you need to up your Protein. Are you taking your Vitamins?

You will get it back. It takes a while to build back up to the level you were before. Recovery from surgery and getting used to fewer calories takes the body a while to come back.

It gets better. My first time I couldn't drink enough Water to stay hydrated during my workout. I now do Zumba and kettle bells back to back 2 hr class three times a week.

I used to do it, about 13 years ago. Zumba is not the same as it was years ago when it first came out in the US...I think about 2004 or 5 maybe. It was strictly latin dance, but now it's mostly hip hop...but having said that, it's still a great workout. I just miss the original moves. (But I'm a former latin dancer that WAS in the making as well-very partial to the old stuff) Like the above posters mentioned, you'll build up your endurance back up. Give it some time....when did you have your surgery?

....don't ask why i gave a lesson about Zumba, I do not even know why!....LOL

My surgery was about 6 weeks ago. TBH, my Protein intake isn't high because meat will NOT stay down. I am killing the Water game however. LOL

If it helps, right after surgery I could not run a tenth of a mile now I can run 7 miles if I push myself. You will.build.up energy and endurance as you continue to heal, hang in there!
