Zumba!

It's important to keep your exercise fun and fresh so it doesn't get mundane and boring.

So tonight....I went to a Zumba class with my best friend!

It was so much fun and I'm feeling it already.

I've heard it's very good for weight loss so we went along to give it a go. We were quite nervous and when we arrived the ladies were queuing out the door which made us feel even more apprehensive.

Once we got inside, it was a mixed bag with ladies in all shapes, ages and sizes. We soon relaxed and although we got lost it a few times we really enjoyed it and will definitely go back next week.

It's very fast paced and is a mix of Latin dancing with aerobic exercise. It works every muscle in your body and I know I'm going to be aching tomorrow.

A one hour Zumba class burns between 500 and 800 calories - can't argue with that and most importantly it's fun! I'm looking forward to learning the steps properly so I can get the most out of it. And never has an hour's exercise gone by so quickly!
