Zumba, or The night she made a fool of herself.

I'm not curvy, just tubby.

I'm not "shakin' it" it's just "jigglin'"

But when you're in the Primary room at the church surrounded by signs that say "Jesus loves you" it's hard to have an issue with that.

Halfway through I figured out that the instructor wasn't taking a full step every time she put her foot down. It's more of "toe touch" move. (Which for her activates the hips.)

Three-quarters through I figured out that you're not supposed to move on whatever beat it is that white people naturally gravitate to.

Just in time to cool down I figured out that I'll never be good at this. (I'm white. I can't even hear that other beat.)

And on the way home I figured out I didn't care.

I'm going back anyway.

*Bet you wish there was a picture with this post huh?

  2. Call me weird but what the heck is this zumba I keep hearing about? I am totally not coordinated so I haven't really looked into it knowing that I would suck at it.

  4. Stacey - it's exercise, but it's latin dance. LOTS of hips. :D It's way more fun than it sounds. And way less intimidating than you think.

  8. It was fun! I personally think I get a better workout when surrounded by church paraphernalia. It's gotta burn more calories to righteously workout right? :)
