Zumba and Bones (but not together)
Oct. 1st, 2010 09:16 pmA few weeks ago, I started taking one of the Zumba classes at the YMCA... today was my fifth one (they're twice a week on Mondays and Fridays and I haven't missed one yet). I'm continually shocked at how much I'm enjoying this! It's probably the hardest workout I've ever had... I *know* that I've never sweated this much from a workout before. Wow. For the first class I made the mistake of going without a bottle of water... never doing that again!
I'm getting better and better at actually following the moves and I no longer constantly feel like I'm about to trip over my feet and fall into one of the other people. Managed to do the box step today for the first time. Yay!
I also tend to marvel at the fact that there's no way I could have done this workout even a year ago and that, technically, this is probably the first time in my life I've been fit enough to do it at all (plus until I was in my 20s I had to wear a brace on my leg and walk with canes or crutches, so I definitely couldn't have done it before then). I always leave the class feeling fantastic and really hyped up, so I guess I must be doing something right!
Watched Bones last night as it aired. Still enjoying it, although that's also still mostly despite the main character/actress who annoys the heck out of me. Next week's episode looks incredibly stupid, though... I hate when shows devolve into things like stunt casting or, in this case, what I can only describe as a "stunt location." Here's hoping it's better than the previews would indicate!
