Zumba Dance Cardio
Alright, I admit it, after I starting to work at Syrup, I seldom did any exercise. When I was at school I used to play basketball a lot, go to the gym constantly, and walk often. So, after I graduated from school and worked for almost 3 years, I gained more than 30 lbs. That’’s pretty scary. Anyway, I realized I have to live healthier and lose some weight. So, I joined America’’s largest community — people on a diet.
My Strategy is simple — go exercise! I registered at a gym near by my apartment, and I go there at least three times a week. Actually, it’’s really not that easy to make myself work out hard every time. Sometimes men are just lazy. I go to the gym, I do some exercise, but I often take some easier equipment, like the exercise bike. My diet probably is not gonna be very efficient if I take these easy steps. Then, I realized this gym offers lots of classes, which easily force people who attend to work out fully for at least one hour. Therefore, for my first try, I took the “Zumba Dance Cardio”.
According to Wikipedia — Zumba is a fitness program inspired by Latin dance. That’’s what I found on the Internet before I went to the class. I am not a big fan of dance. Actually I”ve seldom danced in my entire life. But, you never know what life will bring you. So, I stepped into the classroom with a very open-minded perspective. There were not too many students in the classroom when I arrived. They had known each other for a while. And maybe because Astoria is little Greek, they spoke Greek. I have no idea what they were talking about. But all of them were very friendly and welcomed as I joined the class. Then, the teacher came. Her name was Sheena. She was extremely friendly as well. She seemed to have a lot of passion for dancing and always to have a smile on her face, which made a super beginner like me feel comfortable taking the class. Most dancw moves in Zumba are not too complicated. But to do them and to do them right are quiet different tasks. Dance beautifully is another story; it will require lots of practice and rescearch. Anyway, I had a good time in this class, sweat like hell, and felt as tired as a dog. I slept super well that night and had a very painful body next morning.
Here is a video showing what Zumba looks like:
Zumba, I learned from my class, isn”t exactly like this, but the music is very similar. I think this will be a good start for me. Hopefully, I will become healthier and thinner soon! People, let’’s go exercise!!
