Zumba…a party, not an exercise

Hey everyone,

After a short hiatus,  it’s time to get things rolling.  This week, I’ve chosen a few classes that should take me well out of my comfort zone.  In the past, my workout regimens were centered around weight rooms and a very short run.  But Wednesday, I’ll be headed over to the SRC for Zumba.

I was a little unfamiliar with Zumba.  Honestly, I chose it strictly for the name.  But after a little research, I found out that Zumba was created by a Colombian fitness trainer named Beto Perez.  Perez brought his system to the United States in 1999.  The exercise is a cardiovascular activity based in Latin dance rhythms.  For more information, visit Zumba’s Web site.  I hope everyone will notice the slogan: “Ditch the workout, join the party!”

Party?  Let’s hope so, because anyone who’s seen me dabble in Latin dance knows I’m a long way from Al Pacino in Scent of a Woman:


Be sure to check back tomorrow for the full review.
