Fab Fitness: Zumba!

On Fridays I like to talk fitness. However, since I guest blogged over at Sweet Christian Bride last Friday, I decided to push back my Zumba review to today! Last time I mentioned how I'm going to be covering various fitness gym classes so you know what to expect. Last week was Barbells, this week:

It is a crazy fun addicting class and maybe you are one of the few, like me, who haven't experienced this party yet. I am new to it and I can't believe I didn't give it a try sooner. I actually look forward to going to the gym when I'm going to this class!

What I love about this class other than the fun energetic dancing:

• You can show up and not feel out of place not knowing what to get or use. Just line your water along the wall near you and plop yourself in a spot to dance. 

• You won't feel like a bad dancer. Every one looks silly but every one is having fun. When you look around, people are smiling!

What to expect:

• You will sweat a lot! I never sweat and this class gets me sweating. It is a must that you have water.

• It is very fast. The instructors will guide you through the steps but you might find your calves and thighs burning.

I am all for work outs that don't feel like a workout! I find myself telling my husband, "I can't wait until Zumba. I just wanna dance!" I think I need to buy the Zumba game to fill my dance desire on the off days that I can't make the class. Anyone have that game? What do you think about it?
