So with the new year, and being incredibly bored with walking and my current gym workouts, I decided to try some new types of workouts in the new year.
First, I'm using a Groupon at a "Crossfit" type gym that has really kicked my butt so far. We're talking sore for days, after the Initial Class, and a bunch of terminology that means little to me right now. Turkish Getups, Donkey Kicks, Glute Bridges, OYY! I will say it is a very challenging workout regimen, and it does a great job of distracting me. The hour long classes fly by in a minute.
Today, I went with a friend to a Zumba Class and that's where I found out..you really learn a lot about yourself in a Zumba Class.
1--If you're un-coordinated, don't worry. You're going to find out exactly how un-coordinated you are. IT'S WORSE than you thought.
2--If you ever go on "Dancing with the Stars," you're going to need every single vote from every one of your friends to barely survive the voting.
3--Many of moves in Zumba are more naturally done horizontally than vertically.
4--For those of among the uncoordinated masses, you can either do the arm movements, or the leg movements, but not both concurrently (credit to Jenn Coleman for putting it so succinctly)
5--If you can't follow or figure out the moves, just make it hell up!
Fake it til you make it!
6--If you're me, You have no idea what you're doing, but you're definitely burning some calories!
7--If you go to Zumba, make sure you go with friends so you can laugh at how stupid you feel and how dumb you think you look
8--After Zumba, you can safely go to a Latin/Salsa club
9--You get excited for the arm movements, because they are something you can actually do.
10--You're glad its over, because you were beat after 45 minutes of nonstop dancing (and the class was an hour long)
11--If you were before, you're going to be even more sore after.
