Today I did Zumba Gold with my very best friend 'A'. I didn't realise that anyone could attend these Zumba classes especially to help you learn the basics so found it very helpful. My friend said that she still really struggled to go through the motions mostly as it's morning and she felt like she had zero energy so that was fine as I said to her you gave it a go - well done! We get to chat to the instructors at the end of the class and get a few more ideas about things. I express how I can glad to get some more of the basics down because as I was listening to the music I could understand how the basics then evolve into the bigger movements. I wouldn't mind going to another class at some stage.
I did laugh quite a lot at myself because I was going on some auto pilot for some songs and then realised that this class isn't as advanced as I am use to and also couldn't see to work out my left from right. I had a fun time and so glad that I could laugh at myself, especially after my breakdown the other day I am surprised that I didn't crack the shits and walk out!
I still managed to burn 432 calories which I was impressed with especially with the low impact movemements.
After Zumba A & I get to go and have a coffee around the corner and chat up a storm and really talk about the emotional rollercoaster of this new journey we are both on! We talk about the fact that we are very similar in that something just seemed to have 'clicked' in our heads saying now is the time to start. Unlike all the other times we have started a 'diet' it's about being ready emotionally for the journey and putting into place positive choices for us.
