Sometimes I even cough and it makes me slow down a lot when I am whinding down off of it.
Oh dear friends. I HIGHLY recommend this addiction.
Can you SMELL the peer pressure?
It is the ever naughty dance workout ZUMBA.
The first time I did it I literally blushed the ENTIRE time. Not only did the instructor have a ROCKING body that would make a teenage girl envious, she was easily in her late 50's!
Granny got it going on!!! ;)
So there I was trying to keep up with someone who is about 30 years my senior, and I was panting and dying. There were arms flying to the left, and then arms flying right towards my face. When I would finally chance looking around again I would be completely caught off by all the booty shaking and hip thrusting.
Women REALLY like doing this in public??? HA!
Talk about a culture shock!
The part that made me giggle A LOT was that I went to this class with a large group of my mommy friends. Here we are, a group of five or six of us mommies getting our dirty dancing on!
WHAT WILL OUR CHILDREN THINK OF US?!!
I will never look at those innocent little mommies again. The way they got their grooves on, I now KNOW they all got some dirty secrets lying under those pure exteriors. No goody goody can move the way these ladies were moving. It just isn't natural.
I now go at least twice a week with my mommy friends. (haha!)
And during this time I have lost another 5 pounds on top of my 8 two weeks ago. This total's 13 pounds in 2.5 weeks.
And wait! There is more...
I can now shake my money-maker too!
And! *gasps in shock* I enjoy it!
What workouts do YOU enjoy doing?
ps. The instructor wasn't really that old ... I tend to be a tad bit dramatic. She really did look amazing though!
A note for postpartum mommies: This is a GREAT article to keep in mind.

We actually have a lady in our stake who teaches a zumba class for free at the church. She has cleaned up the moves-I don't ever feel naughty. But I've never been to a real zumba class to compare it to. I'm glad you are having fun and losing weight at the same time;)
Haha. Fun post and CONGRATULATIONS! on knocking off the pounds! Way to go! Linzy's ward was hosting a zumba workout, but the bishop, I guess, saw them doing it one day and that was the last. :( Guess there was just too much movement going on. Love the photo you've included. Add about 100 lb to the guy and that, sadly, would be me doing it.
I love love love Zumba, but do feel a bit naughty doing it! Although I do feel that sticking with the same instructors I look half way decent in the mirror when I'm dancing now!!
