It's a Party~ It's Fitness~ It's ZUMBA

At the end of the summer I decided to make a MAJOR change in my life and I joined the gym. Me and my good friend Laura decided to join together and hold each other accountable. We meet almost every day and it has been a major life style adjustment for us both. It was slow going for us at first and it just showed us how bad out of shape we were. However, Laura and I are a great workout team; we just keep encouraging and motivating each other. I am so thankful to be doing this with her. Ten weeks ago a mile just about killed us lol and now that is our warm up. Seriously~ we could barely do 10 mins on the eleptical. Now, in less than three months we have improved so much. We usually do cardio for an hour and then 30 min of weights. I will never forget that feeling when I rode the eliptical for an hour straight. I was super proud of myself. Laura has already ran a 5K and is planning others. Well this past week we decided to try out the Zumba class. What the heck were we thinking? HAHA OH MY talk about a different kind of workout. We laughed our butts off...well not really... man don't I wish it was that easy just to laugh it off but boy we sure tried! haha My ribs are so dang sore from shimming like that to the rhythm of the latin music. WOW I had no clue what we were doing but we sure had fun trying. Do any of you take Zumba? I think we might try Body Pump next...
