Let's hear your stories!

When I discovered Zumba I was trying to start getting healthier. I have never been good at sticking to an exercise routine because I never found something I loved and so it was just work. I was ecstatic when I found Zumba! Not only is it good for my body but it is good for my mind and soul. I CRAVE Zumba. I need the beats, the moves, and the people. It has done wonders for me. I have religiously done Zumba now 2-5 times a week for a year and a half. I have lost 15 lbs, dropped my resting heart rate by about 20 bpm, lost some inches and toned up. I still have a long way to go but I LOVE ZUMBA!!

I have also made such amazing friends. Shelly was one of my first instructors and she encouraged me to certify and always made me feel welcome in her class. Pretty much any Zumba class I have gone to has given me an immediate feeling of acceptance. I have made some very close friends that give me motivation to strive to be better-and of course to go sweaty grocery shopping with.

I would love to hear any stories you have about what Zubma (my class or others) has done for you. Did it help you feel better after a crummy day? Has it helped you start a healthier lifestyle? Has it made you think about exercise differently? Let's hear it! I can't to see you tonight!!!!!!!!

Freaking rocked it!!!

You guys had such awesome engergy tonight! I was feeling a little tired but your energy just took me over. It was great! Thank you for your whoops, hollers, smiles, and attitude. We've been hovering right around the 40 people mark and I love it! I haven't been promoting the class as heavily because I'm worried about outgrowing our space again-but feel free to keep bringing friends and sharing the Zumba love!

I've been watching a bit of the video that I took tonight and I think it's good for me. When I'm practicing at home and watching my reflection in the TV I may think I look pretty good-but it's good to see what I look like in reality. There's some moves that I should probably break down before the beginning the of the song so that everyone can tell exactly what I'm doing up there. If you think there's a specific song/move that is confusing and you want me to break it down or try to be more clear in my movements, please let me know. I want to be the best instructor that I can be and I want you to have a great time!!
