Zumba!

For the past month or so, I have been going to Water Zumba classes. What is Water Zumba? The in-pool version of Zumba, the exercise/dance program that combines Latin and international music with a spirited workout system.

I first learned about Zumba from my 17 year-old niece, watched her do some combination exercise-dance moves that not only looked like great fun, but like it would great for the figure. Then I did a little research, including watching this clip from Kelly Ripa’s show, as the creator introduces it to her and co-host Rob Lowe:

Finally, I checked out the classes in my community. I decided to start with Water Zumba since it seemed like an easier way to learn...and am looking forward to moving on to the land moves soon, too. But for now, I’m having a wonderful time at “the party,” as the instructors like to call the sessions.

Have you heard about Zumba? Have you tried it, or want to?

I've tried Water Zumba too! It's fun! The zumba class would likely kick my behind. :) :)
