Day Two:
Today was awful. Just a personally emotional day of awfulness. When I am going through something, I can act like the opposite of most fit people. I just want to put on some sweats, grab a box of tissues, crawl into bed and cry my eyes out and not face the world. So sitting at home on the verge of succumbing to my usual state of sulking, I thought of this blog and decided to do what I would usually not do.... hit the gym...
Feeling like if I just attempted to do a workout on my own that I would wimp out, I looked up the gym's class schedule and went with a zumba class. I have done this zumba class before and find it hilarious because there are always like 5 men in the class. Totally love that there are men out there who aren't afraid to be in a room full of women grinding, girating, and shaking their a$$. Then again maybe it's the room full of women and the hottie pottie that teaches the class that motivates them to go... who knows....
Here is my advice about zumba. Now I am not a dancer, lets face it, my dance moves consist of every white girl move under the planet (sprinkler anyone?) But you have to go to zumba class with the expectation that yea, you're probably not going to get every move down perfectly and yea, you probably will look like an idiot for the majority of class (unless you got some moves which I dont). If you go with that kind of an attitude then yes, you will hate zumba. But if you spend some time looking at the rest of class instead of the teacher, you will find the majority of the class at one point or another struggles to do the dance move correctly or has an expression of "WTF is she doing now?"on their faces. So I say give it a try. Go and look like an idiot as long as you can move your hips and can jump up and down you will be fine. The music is always great and motivating and you will be soaked in sweat by the end. I'm glad I went, despite being redfaced from crying, cause now I am no longer in a funk and ready to finish the rest of my night :)
Anyone else have Zumba fears they'd like to share?
Well done! Nothing like some good music and acting the fool amongst others to lift your spirits. My biggest Zumba fear....is that your Dad would try to dance again in public!!!
