Zumba update

Zumba class was a hoot! Who would have thought that I would ever be caught in a dance class doing moves that I once thought only pole dancers did? Seriously, this class was a mix of hip-hop, belly dancing, some kickboxing, and a whole lot more. For once I actually believed the instructor when she said that it didn't matter if we kept up or not. The idea was to just be moving and having fun.

There was a lot of laughing, clapping, and smiling through this class, and I don't know that we ever noticed how hard we were working out. At the end of class the instructor was drenched in sweat, and I think everyone needed a good shower. That's my kind of workout!

I read an article today that said Zumba can burn up to 500 calories per hour. I'm sure I didn't burn near that amount because I spent a lot of time just trying to figure out what I was supposed to be doing. I figure if I burned half that amount, though, I'm happy. We will definitely be back next week!
