Some of you may already be sick of hearing this word, or may roll your eyes when you realize I am writing about it as the topic for my blog today, but I am a firm believer!
I have never been a work out guru. I have always believed in eating what I want (within reason) and choosing to walk instead of taking the car. I have never held a gym membership but enjoy playing sports and spending time doing various outdoor things. I have never had a workout routine, and as Luke can tell you, would frequently say no to going on a run. It just never sounded fun! Working out just sounded like one of those things that very disciplined people did when they wanted to look great.
A few short weeks ago, one of my board moms introduced me to a new workout fad called Zumba. At first, I brushed it off as simply that, a fad. (I live in The Woodlands, TX: fad central) One day I got my hands on the DVDs and decided to see for myself what this was all about.
I. FELL. IN . LOVE!!
It was the most fun workout I have ever done in my life. (Although remember from above that my selection is limited). Basically you get to dance to great music using a routine that Zumba instructors make up. It's like a giant dance party that tones and sculpts your body and is a phenomenal cardio workout. What more could a girl want.
If you have never tried it before, head to zumba.com and find a local instructor. Or, you can do what I did and borrow the DVDs from someone you know. I think you will enjoy it as much as I do!
