Last night I went to my first Zumba class… AND HAD THE GREATEST TIME!! I can’t believe it has taken me literally years to try a class. Shame on me for thinking it was going to be stupid. Zumbamabumba (thats what Mr. Bear calls it) definitely kicked my butt and I can’t wait to go back every week (maybe twice a week!).
I went with these ladies:
and was so happy to have some friends there to shake my booty with. Also, it was nice to have two others in line with me because it was very competitive when it came to floor space.
During one of my favorite dances, I got smacked in the side by the tiniest old woman I had ever seen. Apparently it was her favorite dance too because she had crept up to my line to get her groove on. Maybe she just squeezed in before noticing I had been flailing like a crazy chicken the whole class and needed all the space I could get (the more you get into it, the more calories you burn, right?). Anyways, our space was crowded and during a move, she was a little off beat and whacked me. I survived.
My favorite part about Zumbamabumba: there is lots of booty popping… and as most of you already know,, that’s one of my most favoritest moves ever!
Have you ever done Zumba?
Oh my gosh I LOVE Zumba!!!! SO MUCH!! I used to go 2 times a week my senior year in college with 2 of my friends and it was a blast! It was so fun giggling with them, getting competitive with them, and seeing who had the best booty pops (no joke, we were serious). So glad you finally tried it! Wish you were close to the ‘burgh, I would love to get back into it!
I have always wanted to go to a Zumba class!!!! It sounds like so much fun!
After listening about how GREAT Zumba was forEVER from everybody and their cousin , and from going into the gym and seeing people coming out of their Zumba classes drenched in sweat, I decided to give it a whirl….my girlfriend and I lasted 20 minutes if that, and was over it haha we krept out the side door…..I didn’t like how everyone else already knew the steps and what was coming next…(I am guessing they do the same routines) I will gladly stick to my spinning classes and kickboxing any day….but I think I am like the only girl in America who doesn’t like it haha GOOD for you for getting into a class and loving it ! 🙂 Workouts make you feel great! AFTER that is hahaha
I’ve never tried it but I so want to!
I have never even heard of Zumba… now I need to do some research!!!
I love Zumba. Unfortunately the only class at my gym that works with my work schedule is at the same time as my yoga class. I should do Zumba since it’s free (with my gym membership) but I am digging yoga too much right now.
I’ve never done it, but I’ve heard great things about it. I might have to check it out.
