I attended weekly Zumba classes for a few months last year. I went about two to three times a week, and it was really, really fun. Hadn’t ever maintained any physical activity for that long.
My Zumba instructor – Consuelo – is from Cuba, and I think she’s so pretty. I’ve never seen anyone smile so broadly and look so happy while performing such intense physical activity. And she has a cute accent to go along with it. I have learned a few lessons from my Zumba class, and I thought to share (especially as I still intend to take more Zumba classes):
1. Not all panties should be worn to Zumba classes. Only the most grandma-ish ones should be worn. As I have to come to find out from experience, Zumba involves a lot of fast and rapid movements, which in turn cause a lot of wedgies.
2. There is no nice way to say it, so I’m just gonna put it out there: Zumba makes you fart. And woe betide you if you are beside or behind me during Zumba. Don’t judge me.
3. Some women wear girdles (under their workout clothes) to Zumba. And I cannot figure out why.
4. Some women do not shave their pits. And they wear arm cutoffs and proudly display their forest. Not sexy. Please stop it.
5. It is possible to be black and have two left feet …. at the same time.
6. It is also possible to be white and not have two left feet … at the same time.
7. Salsa is an extremely sexy dance.
8. Zumba will bring out the exhibitionist in you. Who knew I’d enjoy dancing even more when I know that people are looking at me?
9. Even in Zumba class, there are teachers pets. And guess what, they are just as annoying.
10. Zumba causes random and spontaneous dancing at home – with or without music.
11. Not all sports bras should be worn to Zumba. It is in fact possible for your breasts to fall out of the bra.
12. Zumba is deceivingly expensive. You think it’s cheap until you tally your cost. A definite WTF moment.
I did it for about two months. men that thing is harrrddddd.
Yes, it is. No lies.
Hmm I never found it to be expensive, usually if you buy a package it comes out to 5 dollars a class. Group ballroom classes are around 15 a class. Group yoga 12. Also with practice it is as hard as you make it. Put a little effort and you can really work up a sweat, beginner? no problem, you will get it eventually and nobody cares if you suck.
