Do You-ba Zumba?

Last night I went to my first ever Zumba class. It was held at a local LDS meeting house in our "region." The building was all of half a mile away and its not even in our stake, but thats a different story. For those of you not familiar with Zumba it is a Latin-inspired dance-exercise thing. Just imagine a cross between Jane Fonda and and Enrique Iglesias. It is supposed to provide a great work out and now I can say from first hand experience that it certainly does! My legs were on fire during some of the routines. Like most of the other exercise fads, this is mostly a chick thing. For some odd reason there weren't any guys that showed up to beat their imaginary drums and shake their caboose. I hear there are a few Latino men that will do it though. Being an all female class was probably for the best. I'm sure it would have made the ladies a little self conscious to be doing this in front of men-folk. There were plenty of "silver sneakers" there though which pleasantly surprised me. Dance on ladies. I hope I'm up to it when I'm "that age." Joining this Zumba class made me think of my friend Cora who would have loved it and made Zumba look good instead of just work. The class would have been all the more fun to go to as well. Cora, are you out there somewhere Zumba-ing? Ditch the workout, join the party!
