Dancing with Moi

As I watched Nicole and Derek dance the Viennese waltz on dancing with the stars tonight, I couldn’t help but to compare those exquisite moves with my zumba steps. In an attempt to improve my cholesterol numbers, I started dancing to 50-minute zumba (cardio) two weeks ago. Prior to my zumba experience, I thought I was a pretty good dancer. In my mind, I was one of those folks who could shake it up on the dance floor. However, Salsa has taught me different. I can’t seem to move my waist, feet and hands the way I’m supposed to. Maybe I’m just not that coordinated. My waist moving attempts are pathetic. I wonder if I’ll ever be able to learn these dance moves. Well, maybe I’ll get better with practice.

    Oh yes! I remember my Zumba days, I thought I could never get it, but I did A few classes and I was a pro in salsa dance. Zumba is definately a fun workout. You have inspired me to start Zumba again.

      Yay! Glad you are getting back on the Zumba wagon. Zumba is such a fun and easy way to burn calories! Although I love my Leslie Sansone power walks, I realize that I tend to burn a lot more calories with the Zumba. If you can't make it to a class near you, you can always try the Zumba Fitness, LLC dvds. I don't know if my two left feet can ever become a pro at Salsa. But I've promised myself to keep dancing...

      Peter,
      Thanks for your comments. Zumba can be tiring and is not for everyone. Some friends of mine have vowed not to Zumba. They'd rather kickbox, do Yoga or do some Pilates. Thank you so much for your comments. Much appreciated! Let's work on staying healthy.
