I’ve been attending Zumba classes for about a month now while Igwe has been a gym rat. I hate the gym; I’ve tried twice, and I realize now that it’s just not my thing. Igwe has been making fun of my Zumba classes, saying “It’s just dancing,” so I challenged him to come with me to just one class.
As fate would have it, yesterday was Labor Day, so he didn’t have to work. My Zumba instructor scheduled Zumba Masterclass (two hours) instead of regular Zumba (one hour). Class started at 10am, but thanks to Igwe, we were 15 minutes late. Watching Igwe dance next to me was extremely distracting. No, it’s not because he was such a remarkable dancer *insert high speed eye-rolling* It was because he was doing everything but what we were actually doing.
Now, I do admit, the first day of Zumba can be very frustrating because it’s a very high paced dance and you don’t know the steps. When to go left or right, when to slide, jump up, or vigorously shake your booty (I like this part, by the way). Igwe looked like he wasn’t even a part of the class, like he was just some random guy dancing to whatever music was playing in his head, and coincidentally, he happened to be in the same class with the rest of us. I mean, he was not even trying to do what we were doing; he was just dancing regularly, the way he would at a party or anywhere else. And his nonchalance was evident in his refusal to even look at the instructor. Clearly, he was not trying to do what she was doing.
As if that wasn’t bad enough, he disappeared for 40 minutes and when he reemerged, he whispered in my ears, “I found shoes on sale.” Really?! And when I gave him the look, he said, “No, really, I found shoes on sale,” as if my problem with his statement was the possibility of finding shoes on sale instead of the reality that he abandoned his Zumba – which I paid $10 for! – to go shoe-hunting. And then he said in his most reassuring tone, “Oh, but I didn’t buy them though.” Whew! That makes me feel so much better *one brow up*
When we finally got home, we ate. I ate my food so fast cause I was famished. I didn’t eat breakfast before going; he, on the other hand, ate breakfast. After eating, he proceeded to take a nap. “I’m so tired from all that Zumba,” he told me.
What Zumba?!
lol…Vera, you and dis your Igwe will not wounjure me with laff abeg
You think this post is funny! You should have seen him in action. He looked so serious, too, like he was doing something good. Lol.
Verastic, stop talking about my boo like that, and i know you are lying NOT.. lol
Your boo wasted my $10 and you know the economy is harsh right now. He ought to pay me back.
(‘Yimuing’ at Vera) Where r d pictures to back your story?
I think you just could not handle the fact that our ‘Igwe’ got the Zumba moves in less than 10 minutes. So why should he spend 2hours doing something already completed (by him) in less than10 minutes?
Hahahahahahaha. Deola, you’re not serious at sllllll! I see you’re working for him abi? No problem. My God will vindicate me. All the members of my Zumba will testify that Igwe was not with us in Zumba class. His body was there oh, but his dance moves were far, far away.
Tehehhehehehehhehehhehehehhe Vera. I can’t even believe he actually went to Zumba with you…..that’s love. I tried convincing Nna to go with me and I think his mind is now tarnish when he decided to watch me on the only night when the instructor brought the belly dance wrap (not sure the name) to class because we weren’t shaking our hips enough. Let’s just say I won’t even bring up any gym class again….lmao.
Oh, poor Nna. Ehn, but he, too, can wear the wrap and shake his bum bum nah. Lol. And Biko don’t let Igwe hear that it is love for him to go with me. I will never be able to hear the end of it.
No pictures
Awww. I’m sorry, dear. No time to take pictures while we were sweating our asses off. Well, I was sweating my ass off. I don’t know what Igwe would say he was doing.
i have never done Zumba but i can tell its no joke, all that cardio and twitch movements… Wow… im guessing he under estimated the power of Zumba. Especially since its mainly girls who attend most of the classes, and we guys often think Girlie aerobics are always light. Even though he wasted your ten dollars, im pretty certain that he has a new found respect for you and your Zumba. he may not say it, but he definitely thinks it.
Totally true. Zumba is no joke. Before I started, I figured, hey, I like dancing, and now, I can do it for exercise, but that thing is not funny at all, especially when you have an instructor like mine who is just all too happy to be doing what she’s doing. That said, Igwe still hasn’t refunded my $10. Lol.
Honestly,I think there should have bn a pic to this effect.As for ur $10 don’t worry he’ll pay in kind or hasn’t he been doing that?*winks*
LOL. You’re not the first person asking for a picture oh. No picture jare. Maybe next time. Per paying in kind, well, he has been trying, but he hasn’t paid all my $10 yet.
