Since I was burnt out on the elliptical, treadmill, and other various cardio equipment I decided to see what the zumba craze was all about. Now I know why everyone raves about it! I love zumba for so many different reasons:
1. its a fun way to spend an hour working out-WAY better than the treadmill
2. fun fun fun music. I don't even really realize I'm working out- I mostly feel like I'm dancing and singing along to the music
3. Being in the class keeps me from quitting when I get tired or think its too hard
and most importantly...
4. the people in the class seriously crack me up!
Now, I'm not professing to be the best person there (FAR from it) but to people watch honestly amuses me. My favorite is when the instructor holds her hand in the air with the number of repetitions left of a move and at least 25% of people in the class throw the number up and then as it dawns on them they slowly try to bring their hands down. I don't know why but this always makes me giggle.
Side note: why were gyms built with windows that don't open? Seriously the gym gets this super awful FUNK that can be overwhelming. If the top set of windows opened it would eliminate the problem! Gym design FAIL.
The gym kinda smells like this guy
i kinda want that guy as a pet....
ReplyDeleteso i've heard of zumba, is it kinda like salsa only kicked up a notch? i hate working out and the gym, so double bummer to have to go there. maybe i'll give zumba a chance. i like dancing. love people watching. the only thing that would make it perfect is if we could do it together. you know we'd just laugh the whole time and never actually zumba. it's the best workout.
Its kind of like a salsa/dance aerobic class. Pretty fun. They have them at the Y here too.
ReplyDelete...and so true- I would probably be laughing so dang hard with you. At least our abs would get a workout!
