My body likes it too, and I'm starting to feel more toned, which is a good thing. And I look somewhat less awkward in the mirror, when I catch a glimpse.
Usually it's about 40 minutes into the hour before my eyes wander there. Dear God.Īs the weeks went by, I've started to learn basic moves, and get sort of familiar with some of the songs. During the first few weeks, after a bunch of songs, I was breathing hard and sweating. It's really fun, actually, and I love dancing, so I felt good moving and shaking it out. The gorgeous, muscular, joyfully smiling teacher led fast-paced sexy movements that I tried to follow, while trying not to trip over myself or get in the way of the people around me who seem to know every step. Seeing myself in the mirror confirmed that, yes, I am awkward. And thus, I put myself in Zumba class.Īt first, I felt pretty awkward. But, at that minute, I knew I'd have to find a way to recover my own rear end. How it got onto my body, I'll never understand. Which happened because I was trying on a potential new pair of jeans in Target and caught a glimpse of my butt in the dressing room mirror. Honestly, I only started doing it because I recognized a need for improving my fitness level. I sweat myself stinky and shake my tush until I'm ready to drop. I've been taking Zumba classes at Studio X in Gaithersburg.
