I am going to a Zumba class tonight with a girl I work with. I am so excited and can't wait!!!! I've been struggling with raw for months now and I hope that starting a fun exercise routine is just what I need to kick start me back into gear here. I hope I get addicted!!!!!

Has anyone here done Zumba? If so, I'd love to hear what you think of it.

I'll be sure to share how it went.


This is from the zumba.com website and describes what Zumba is about:

"Zumba fuses hypnotic latin rhythms and easy to follow moves to create a dynamic workout system that will blow you away.

Our goal is simple: We want you to want to work out, to love working out, to get hooked. Zumba Fanatics achieve long term benefits while experiencing an absolute blast in one exhilarating hour of caloric-burning, heart-racing, muscle-pumping, body-energizing, awe-inspiring movements meant to engage and captivate for life!

The routines feature interval training sessions where fast and slow rhythms and resistance training are combined to tone and sculpt your body while burning fat. Add some Latin flavor and international zest into the mix and you've got ZUMBA!"

    Hey girl! I am so in love with Zumba that I am getting certified on July 26th so I can teach it myself. Apparently just taking the class 3-4 times a week isn't enough for me. ;) Have a great time and I'll be curious to know your thoughts......

    So what's the verdict?!?!

    The verdict is that the gym was most aweful place I have ever dealt with and we walked out before the class even started. They were completely rude from the second we walked in.

    It would take too long to explain all the dirty details but I'll just say at one point we looked at each other and were like "what the hell is going on here?". Seriously, we felt like we were on candid camera or something.

    So we are going to find another gym that has Zumba. We were so disapointed!

    Oh man that bums me out. Maybe you were being "punked" ~ did you see Ashton Kutcher anywhere? ;) Too bad you aren't in Georgia ~ you could come over with your peeps for a Zumba dance party in my basement!

    My friends sister is the one who told us to go there, because she used to go there before she became an instructor herself and she knows the instructor of the class that we were going to. So of course my friend called her sister as soon as we left, she was extremely pisssed.

    The instructor called my friends sister to tell her we never showed up, she then told her what happened. She said "omigod, that was them? I something going on and how rude they were being treated but didn't know who it was or what was going on. If I had known I wold have run over and told them they were with me." Heads will be rollin'. LOL
