Local News Coverage of Zumba
Sometimes local news is just so cute. Case in point: Mount Airy, North Carolina's local paper has a breaking story — Zumba at the senior center!
"The lively rhythms of the Latino song that filled an adjoining hallway Wednesday afternoon seemed to offer a stark contrast to the usual goings-on at the facility....Further investigation revealed a much-livelier activity than one normally would witness at the senior center, as a group of ladies — some in their 70s — engaged in dance moves while an energetic Salsa tune emanated from a CD player nearby."
The story goes on to explain that Zumba is more than just lively "Latino songs." It's "a dynamic fitness program that is sweeping the nation [which] be enjoyed by people of all ages." Which is true. And also a very cute, home-towny way of explaining all that wild booty shaking.

2nd Day Sore
I continued with my high energy motivation to all my 2.5 hours of dancing last night-- I was a little sore from weights the day before but manageable. I took 2 ibuprofen before hitting Zumba. We did new moves in Zumba and Body Jam was a whole new track-- sooooo much fun to learn new dances!! Even Step was a little more fun than usual because Tavia played a bunch of Michael Jac

Fraidy & I took Zumba. We were hot, hot, hot!
I took Free Zumba in Brooklyn Bridge Park with Fraidy this afternoon. I think we get double fitness points for exercising in this heat. Thank goodness for the only vaguely smelly breeze off the East River.

Ready to dance! Fueled by a Blizzard!
I loved Body Jam so much last week that I was excited for Tuesday to come around again. I iced my foot on Monday in preparation for the long evening of dancey workouts. I also remembered how I felt a bit faint last week since I hadn't eaten enough, so I took extra precautions and got a mint oreo blizzard at DQ yesterday afternoon.

Dancing to relieve anxiety, aka, I spent 2.5 hours at the gym last night!
I took a page from the prescription pads of fellow SWers and went to the gym last night to relieve myself from some low-level anxiety of the stressful-wedding-shower-and-I'm-still-not-married-and-no-babies-for-me-and-I-am-a-bureaucratic-drone type. I intended to do my regular Tues classes-- Zumba and Step but had so much energy remaining I stayed for an additional hour and did Body Jam an

Dancing to relieve anxiety, aka, I spent 2.5 hours at the gym last night!
I took a page from the prescription pads of fellow SWers and danced my way through 2.5 hours at the gym. I initially planned on doing my usual 2 Tuesday night classes-- Zumba followed by Step...but after Step, I still had energy and really wanted to try Body Jam, so I just stayed. And I'm so

Zumba @ 80 -- I hope I'm that lucky!!
You wrote, we like...
Last week my previously mentioned superhero grandmother turned 80. To celebrate, we threw the queen of Zumba a zumba party, complete with personalized waterbottles, and matching outfits for the extended family. We flew in her favorite teacher, Bernadett, from Florida, who introduced my grandma as an incredible role model and very inspiring, and then led the group (about 60 of my grandparents friends and our family....) in a wild, energetic, upbeat, (and difficult, if I may say) workout!
