Zumba!

Last night I met my cousin and her friend/coworker in Alexandria for a Zumba class. I had taken classes before in my area and while it was fun it wasn't anything to write home about.

This class was amazing. It was located behind a strip mall, and the appearance left a lot to be desired. However, when I walked in I was amazed at how many people were there. It was at least 100! I quickly found my friends and got ready to Zumba. LOL.

Needless to say I was intimidated, there were tons of people who looked like they knew what they were doing. The instructor came out on stage and introduced herself, and from her energy I knew I was in for a hell of a workout.

Boy was I right. The dance moves were amazing, the music was hot, and I was dripping with sweat within the first 10 minutes. But it was a party-like atmosphere so I didn't really seem like work...at first. By the 30 minute mark I was dying, I'm so out of shape. I tried to keep up the best I could, thank goodness there were so many people there that I didn't really stand out.

I had the best time. Although I was dead tired, I'll definitely be coming back again. Maybe this class will help me get read of the stubborn 10 pounds that won't seem to go away. Just in time for the summer!

I'll keep you posted!
