Zumba
Zumba is a fitness program inspired by Latin dance. It was founded by Miami-based dancer and choreographer Alberto 'Beto' Perez, who teamed up with two local entrepreneurs: Alberto Perlman and Alberto Aghion. Zumba combines Latin rhythms with cardiovascular exercise to create an aerobic routine that is fun and easy to follow. The name Zumba is derived from a Colombian word meaning to move fast and have fun. Zumba sells DVDs/videos through its website and via infomercials. More than 3 million DVDs have been sold in over 30 countries. Zumba currently has over 9,000 instructors worldwide. On October 15, 2007 Zumba was showcased on the Today Show.

This was the hell-of-a -dance I endured on Friday. I could not feel my lower legs. They were hurting. I thought I was pretty good at salsa, but I was proven that there are a lot more moves to this that meets the eye. I got referred to this class by my Pilate's teacher. She is just the epidimy of poise. Well, when I arrived 5 min late at the class...she was just smoking. She had this great hat...I love caps! and these baggy pants. She was moving those hips and waist and anything that could possibly move...MOVE! It was amazing to see this woman in a new light and try to catch up to the routines. The music was electrifying and wonderful. I just thought, oh my gosh! I need to get in shape and learn to dance liket this! I even thought of telling Alf that he had to come with me next time. This was a sure work out. I loved every minute of it, although I had to stop and take breathers because my legs were just killing.

Afterwards...I did the step master for about 10 minutes...Realizing that I had to go pick up Alexei. So I decided to put a couple of more levels up to 5 from 3 the other day. Well I don't know if the machine wants to do the most work out, but it skips the warm up part and gets right to it...I was sooo tired by 5 minutes, that I decided to put the level down to 4 and then 3 for the last minute.

Jorvik and I went to the track for 2 mile walk. It was a good walk and we were happy it was cloudy.
