Nancy, I was thinking about waiting to do Zumba on 1/1/14, but at the rate I'm going now, at building strength, I might start giving it a try sometime in October. The man who invented it wrote a book and he said actually there is no right or wrong way to do Zumba. He said just get up and move your arms, leg, and body and have a ton of fun doing it! He invented it when he went to exercise to teach, he didn't have the right tapes or they'd been forgotten, but he had some really wild music you use with Zumba. He put the tape in, just started directing the class and everybody loved it so much, it became a regular class! Now they have Zumba Dance Days everywhere, etc..! Isn't it exciting how something accidentally got invented for health and the good of the exercising world?
I walked an extra 2/3 miles to get the mail, but a neighbor took off his ear protection, while he was mowing, stopped his mower to tell me the mail came 2 hours ago. He said he thought he'd tell me. I had such a nice visit with him. He's elderly.
If I do Zumba sooner than October, I'll let you know, first thing because I'm going to be certain to log it here. I'm feeling stronger everyday, my muscles aren't hurting, they're getting stronger and for osteoarthritis in the hips, lumbar and sacrum and the Fibromyalgia, this is super good news. My doctor prescribed exercise to help combat the health problems and exercise is healing me. Also, it makes me feel good and good about myself!
