I might be one of the few people in existence who isn't Friday's biggest fan - up at 6:30 a.m. for my first class, going all day until 4. That's usually about the time I crash.
But today, as my first mission to remain calm, I decided to try something I'd heard a lot about, but never tried for myself: zumba.
Walking into Temple's gym for the class, I had NO idea what to expect, but the class ended up being a lot of fun, and was so intricate that I had no time to think about anything but keeping up with the dancing.
For those of you who don't know what zumba is, and don't feel up to entering a gym class with no prior knowledge, it's essentially a dance class; a little bit of hip-hop, a little bit of what I'd assume to be salsa, and some butt-shaking, earth-quaking hip thrusts all thrown together to create the workout sensation that's sweeping the nation: zumba!
Now you might be thinking, "I haven't even attempted to dance since that lame middle school dance where Joe and I slow-danced, will I be able to handle zumba?" My answer: YES! The steps are pretty basic, so you'll keep up, I promise.
So get out there, sign up for a zumba class! I left feeling not only disgustingly sweaty but immensely relaxed and rejuvenated, despite the fact that it was 8:30 p.m. when the class ended. Great stress reliever!
Tell me about your zumba experiences! Do you love it or what?
Keep calm,
Sarah
