I have been bored with my usual workouts and as a result have stopped working out and have become quite soft. (Although, I'm sure all the food I have been consuming has nothing to do with it.) I need something new to keep me entertained. I have been contemplating Pilates, but I have never tried it.
Tonight I got the brilliant idea to YouTube pilates for beginners. Several videos popped up and I tried a couple. Holy cow, I have zero stomach muscles!
Then, I searched for zumba and I was reminded that I lack coordination.
I am going to be sore tomorrow!
OMG! YOu MUST try Zumba! I am addicted! Love it!!!! I am horribly uncoordinated, seriously the worst dancer ever. The first three times I felt like a total fool. However, after that I fell in love. It is so much fun. You must try it! A side effect was I can actually sort of shake it now. I take at the Y, so if you ever want to go, just let me know. My fave class is on Thursday nights at the Thornton. I can't go this week, but will be there next.
ReplyDeletePS - That picture is Beto, founder of Zumba. That is how dorky I am about it! ;)
ReplyDeletehahaha i bet there are some videos on youtube!
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of youtube-ing excersise videos!! Everyone I know who has tried Zumba swears by it though!
ReplyDeleteI've heard all good things about Zumba! You'll have to let us know how you like it! I am totally interested in doing it as well.
ReplyDeleteToo funny...I love Zumba, but I'm not crazy about Pilates. Let us know if you find anything really fun! :)
ReplyDeleteI've never tried Zumba but I have heard great things. Maybe try it a little in your house before you head out to a class :)
ReplyDeleteI love Pilates though...
thanks for entering my give*away!
ReplyDeletei just got certified to teach zumba, it's really a fun way to get fit and it really works your whole body. every instructor can teach their own stuff so if you try one place and ain't feel'in it try somewhere else.
What a coincidence! I just did a few you tube yoga videos and am feeling it too! I've never done zumba though- may have to try it!
ReplyDeleteomg those people are ripped!!!!
ReplyDeleteI would love to try Zumba...however coordination is not so much my strong suit either!
ReplyDeleteThat is such a great idea!! :) I will have to try it
ReplyDeletereally like your new layout!
ReplyDeleteI've been thinking about trying zumba out at the gym, but haven't wanted to pay for the class-I completely forgot that I could look it up on youtube to see if I like it!
ReplyDeleteSo many people talk about Zumba ... I haven't tried it though. Looks like a fabulous workout!
ReplyDeletehaha, I have tried a few videos on youtube before too!! I have never tried zumba before though! so funny! hope you're doing well!
ReplyDeleteI feel like I live in a cave, I'd never heard of Zumba until last week. I might have to go check YouTube for some videos!
