Day Seventeen

A picture of something that has made a huge impact on my life lately:






About a month or two ago, Ryan and I purchased Zumba for the Wii.  I had been to a Zumba class this past fall and loved it, but at the time, my feet were absolutely killing me.  My feet are better, and now I get to do Zumba in my skivvies in my living room where no one but my husband can see me and laugh at me (although during my Zumba class experience, I was among friends, and honestly, everyone was so busy dancing, sweating, and having fun to notice how horrible a dancer I am).  I actually sweat, which is something difficult for me to achieve.  Its fun, and I've learned the steps to the dances.  I think I might be about ready to move up to the "expert" level and learn those steps as I've mastered the beginner and intermediate levels.

So its exercise I like.  And even though I haven't lost a whole lot of weight, I can tell my cardio condition has improved a bunch.  I feel more energetic.

I still can't wait for the weather to turn, however, because I want to get outside after school and enjoy.

  2. I would recommend just going to a class. Go in the back so you won't be embarrassed, although when I went, no one really cared. Zumba is neat because you can kind of take it down a notch if you want, or pump it up if you need to.
