Zumba for the Wii

Hi. Well, who would have thought that I would like Zumba?  I wanted a new exercise video. I was going to get a beginner's yoga video. I really meant to...but, really I have so much...how to describe it?  I have so much not really quiet, but having to be focused and quiet and focused and quiet (I couldn't think of any better words) in my life.  That I started thinking that I need something fun and active. Something that is a little silly. 

So I was good and did some homework. I asked my friend about Just Dance. She got some additional Just Dance games for Christmas, so she was happy to show me. I liked them, but the characters on the screen weren't really people. For some reason that bugged me.  I then looked at what other exercise options there were for the Wii. I didn't find too many. I looked at Zumba last year too, so I decided to look at it again. Carl helped me research a YouTube video to get an idea of what it would look like. I watched a few and read a lot of reviews. I found that the first Zumba had some problems. The second was better, but I heard that the Zumba Core was the best. I looked it up and found a video of it. The people were a lot more realistic. That clinched it.

I went to Target and found it on sale!  I brought it home and tried it out. Um, it is not easy. I really have no rhythm and no dance ability. I almost got discouraged by the tutorials, but then I just jumped into a low-impact, 20 minute class. Supposedly I mastered it according to them, but in my opinion I have a long ways to go.

I was sweating though and I was jazzed. I guess that is what it is about. I was so jazzed that I took a 20 minute walk to settle down!!  Belle liked that too. 

I haven't been able to stick to any kind of exercise regimen, so we will have to see how it goes.  I'll keep you posted.
