ZUMBA!

Several of us from work have been taking Zumba class for the last 2 1/2 months. It is the most fun exercise I have ever done. It feels more like club dancing than exercising. We go twice a week for an hour and it is so fun, fast moving and exciting, that the hour flies by! It is like a drug, and I am addicted! As our teacher Ms Georgina says, "You either really love it, or really hate it." Well, we love it! I have missed dancing since I stopped to go to MSMS 20 years ago! This is the perfect outlet for my need to dance and exercise, and it is quite a workout! I leave class soaked with sweat!
Saturday we had Zumbathon, which was Zumba from 11am to 3pm to raise money for American Cancer Society. We had 3 short breaks (about 10 minutes) after each hour, but otherwise danced the entire 4 hours! We raised just over $1000 on Saturday. I am stiff and sore from Zumba-ing for 4 hours, but look forward to class tomorrow night.


If you haven't tried Zumba, you should! It is a blast!! Don't worry if you lack rhythm, for you will find that you are not alone! We laugh a lot, we sweat a lot, and it is a great way to blow off steam after a stressful day. Our teacher Ms Georgina teaches our class to raise money for scholarships for students of Pasco High School. She is such a giving person and wonderful teacher. I am so thankful that we have her and that we found out about ZUMBA!


I got some really funky looking exercise shoes today to exercise and Zumba in. They are called Vibram and are really neat! Robert got a pair too. They make his feet look like gorilla feet! We love them. We were only going to try them on, but ended up getting a pair because they are so comfortable.
Have a great week!! Shannon
