So Monday night I had a super fun experience, I went to Zumba for the first time! One of my oldest friends had gone before and asked if I wanted to accompany her. I immediately agreed (because I love trying new exercises and workout/fitness options) and then because I'm a GINORMOUS dork I read up on Zumba. One of the bloggers I follow every day is The Fitnessista. She's a fitness instructor and all around fun blogger to follow. Anyway, she teaches Zumba and has really cool Focus On series in which she talks about the pro's/con's, what to wear, what to expect yada yada. She wrote one on Zumba, so I read it, then I did the ultimate dork move and watched one of her Zumba videos on youtube. I thought, okay, this is something I can probably do! It's just like dance right? WRAAAOONNGGG! I definitley think that having a dance background helped me not look like a complete fool, but I still looked very awkward! Here's a list of the thinks I was thinking (Dr. Seuss quote thankyaverymuch) while Zumbaing.
-You're gonna be good at this. You've danced since you were 2.5!! You've got this!
-No! NO! NO! You don't got this! You have none of this! AHHHHHH!
-I really like the Zumba teacher's Zumba shirt.
-Maybe I should buy some Zumba clothes?
-Maybe I should see if I like this Zumba thang before I start investing in wardrobe pieces.
-Zumba is a fun word!
-Ok, you look stupid. Yup this is the dumbest you have ever looked...EVER!
-Oh, ok you got this move. It's a box step. Oh crap she added arms!
-What ARE THESE ARMS!
-I'm not Latin enough for this.
-I wish I would look semi normal doing this.
-Ok, the lower half of me looks like I know what I'm doing, but the upper half of me looks....not stellar.
-You look like a noodle.
-You look stiff.
-Erin, there's a thing called rhythm...get some.
-Oh, okay, you got this...now you have it...in 8 seconds you probably won't.
-Zumba doesn't function on an 8 count
-ZOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMBBAAAAAAHHHHH
-I like these Colombian (said in Sofia Vergara's accent) songs.
-How come she looks hot doing Zumba and I look redonkulous?
-Ok, now you are flapping your arms. They look like chicken wings.
-I could really go for some chicken wings.
-I think I deserve them after this.
-I wonder how long I'd have to Zumba to work off chicken wings.
-I'm not having chicken wings tonight. I'm having salad.
-I have school tomorrow.
-My first day of 18th grade!
-My outfit is super cute for 18th grade!
-Ok, this is scuff ball change, salsa, turn, ball change.
-Oooooooh I lerve this song!
-I wonder what the lyrics mean. I bet they're Spanish for "You look ridiculous!"
-Zumba is fun!
-You look like that awkward uncle at a wedding. The one that can't dance but is trying really hard.
-At least everyone can see the effort he is putting in.
-I'm so schweaty! Ewww, this is gross.
-I NEED Agua!
-AGUA!!
-Oh ok good, agua break.
-Oh, agua break is over?
-Ok, this is just shakin' my bootaay! I got this!
-What? It's over? No!? Why? I liked Zumba!!
-I wanna go back!
-That's it, I'm quitting my gym and coming here because my gym doesn't have ZUMBA!
Yes I amor Zumba! I want to go back ASAP! I am going to quit my gym and start at this gym because I want/need/crave more Zumba!
xoxo,
Erinita (I think I needed to spice up my name to go along with Zumba)
