Zumba. Fantastic. (30/30/30: 19 & 20)

In an effort to break up the elliptical/Pilates/elliptical/Pilates cycle I’ve been in this past week I went to Zumba today. People tell me Zumba is AMAAAAAAAAAAAZING and fun and a great workout. This was not my perception the last time I tried it. My experience was more like this:

Oh! fun music. I can shake my booty.

Wait. What’s she doing there?

Oh God! I just tripped over my left foot.

Okay, back on track. Shakin’ my booty.

Wait. Why is everyone facing me?

Shit!

Oh good. Now my brain is so confused I’m the only one standing perfectly still in the middle of this gyrating room while everyone else is doing hip thrusts and yelling, “Uah! Uah!” like they’re on extacy at a gay bar.

Fantastic.

Let’s do this again. Really soon.

So I was reluctant to try it again, but it was either Zumba or Spin. I’m lazy. Spin seems hard. Zumba won.

This class wasn’t nearly as packed as the last one, the teachers were more engaging and a friend was there. It was nearly fun. I might do it again.
