ZUMBA Much?!

   

Zumba, what is it you ask?!  

"It's an exhilarating, effective, easy-to-follow, Latin-inspired, calorie-burning dance fitness-party!" 

I LOVE Zumba so much how can I not blog about it.  I teach Zumba class twice a week at a local gym we have.  Some people ask me how did you get started doing that?  Funny and true story, one night I was sitting in the recliner watching TV and an infomercial came on and it happened to be Zumba.  Wow, I was so inspired by the dancing, music and of course the "high energy" people that were having FUN teaching it.  After watching that I did a lot of thinking of how FUN would that be if I could go teach that to people and still get in a high calorie workout for myself away from my KIDS!:) The next morning or two I went to my computer and typed it in and found a Zumba training in Newton, IA.. I asked Brett about it and he agreed that I would probably like that and be good at it.  So that evening I signed up for the ALL day training at Newton, IA ( March 2012) ! I was so excited to start this journey!

That day I did the ALL day training, I came home EXHAUSTED! Dancing 8 straight hours in one day was mind blowing:) After my all day training I started to put together a routine of 12 songs and learn them as fast I could.. about 4 weeks later I started my 1st class at the gym and I haven't stopped!:) It will be a year in April since I have been teaching it. 

I have been bringing a good crowd in and I just LOVE it... it gives me such a good feeling to know people like it and come and have FUN doing it!  If you want a FUN workout to try.. ZUMBA it is.  People tell me how bored running on the treadmill and doing the eliptical is and that they love Zumba because you don't have to think or you are just too busy having fun that the time just passes.  My class is 45 minutes of intense cardio with "latin" music combined with "pop" songs that you all are familiar with.  Zumba is for everyone (any age)

Here are some "FUN" pictures I found of ZUMBA..........

                                                         

So what are you waiting for? Go out and find a Zumba class to try today!:)

Till next time...........
