I thought this was a made up class from my Park District, until my mom -- yes, my mom is more with it than I am -- set me straight. Apparently Zumba is the new thing, infusing latin dance with aerobics for a fun 1 hour sweat festa.
Aside from the learning the dance steps, which might take a few classes to pick up (although I was surprised at how much I could do, but then again, I have danced Salsa, Cha Cha, and Argentine Tango), it's a lot of fun. It made the hour go by quickly even though I was sweating - running on a treadmill for one hour is torture to me. Dancing around a mirrored room for one hour --sign me up!
I'm Zumba'ing because Operation Skinny is in action. That's what I called it when I re-joined the Park District's classes in my quest to shed these 10 lbs. The treadmill workouts were boring. I need a class, a teacher, some motivation, music, and mirrors.

I have gone to a Zumba class before. Pretty fun! I'm on my own "Operation Skinny". Jason has been great about getting up and running with me in the mornings!
