The Zumba craze has been around in Brunei for I would say 2 years now and only now have I decided to venture into what everyone has been talking about.
I saw a "performance" of Zumba while I attended one of the dance parties recently and I was not sure if it would be my cup of tea. All that hip wiggling and body shaking, it made me wonder whether I was capable of such a thing. Only one way to find out...
Eisha who goes to the same dance studio told me she attended a session of Zumba and her verdict was that it was lots of fun. And when she told me another session was coming up, I didn't want to miss the opportunity to just try it myself. And try I did...
All that hip wiggling and body shaking did come into fruition. I'm not sure if I did it properly but at least I got a real good workout of it. I feel it helps to have good coordination (or at least keep on attending to improve your coordination) and recognizing some of the dances in the songs amused me too. I got a little bit worried with the fast pace but I was able to keep up. By the end of it, my t-shirt was soaked with sweat and I had a good buzz. It helps Eisha and Jill were there too. That made a difference.
I have always loved group classes - it takes me back to my days in University where I did aerobics 5 times a week and I have not been able to find the same replacement since I got home or perhaps I am making excuses for the lack of motivation. But now with more gyms offering Zumba, Les Mills classes and the like, there are more opportunities for me to really get serious about venturing into other forms of activities. And with some changes in my schedule of late, I believe I can fit more of these in.
