Zumba

Zumba has quickly become a popular class since the last time I've taken any dance aerobics. If you've never taken Zumba before, well let me tell you what to expect. Yesterday I decided it might be fun to get my groove back and take my first Zumba class. The room was packed with women of all shapes and sizes (and one man). The "instructor" was a very curvy (huge butt) 4'9" girl who just stood up on the stage in front of the mirrors as if that helped us see her. The music started, it was like going from 0 to 60 in 10 seconds. There were no breaks just a full hour of non-stop moving of your jiggly parts. I heard more than one language in there but the common phrase being repeated was, "Oh my god!" I kept up the best I could considering there was no instruction, she didn't break down any dance steps for us. I didn't want to be one of those fat girls that barely moved but no matter how close I felt I was to what the instructor was doing, my butt never seemed to shake like hers.....and its not like I'm lacking a caboose....maybe next time I'll shake it like a salt shaker.
