Plan B was a lot of fun this week! My wife and I were supposed to take our first Hot Air Balloon ride this week. Unfortunately it was too windy to take off. I called my friends Brian and Jennifer and took them up on their Zumba offer.
I had never heard of Zumba until Brian brought it up as an idea for me a few weeks ago. "You should try this ... 'Sounds good to me' I replied." Well, it was on like Donkey Kong! I showed up at Brian and Jen's house on Friday and Jennifer and I were off to Zumba. Brian showed up later at the gym with their young children in tow. You can't take pictures or videos at the gym, so Brian had to use his kids as props. He had to fake like he was taking a picture of them, while videoing me getting my groove on.
It was a good time! Zumba is part salsa, part meringue and a little bit rock and roll. Zumba is the nation's fastest growing fitness craze. You dance, swing your booty around and get "jiggy with it"! It is a fun workout!
I have to tell you that there are not many dudes who groove on Zumba! There was only one other man amongst the 80 people that night. The work-out takes place 4-5 times a week with about 100 people in each session. Men are welcome, but not encouraged. My friend Brian described me as "an awkward dandelion in a sea of roses."
Tonight's workout was not in the main gym, so Brian videoed one in the back with sound and the other through a mirror without sound. You really can't understand the vibe of Zumba without the music. Yet, my moves are impressive none the less. Photo above is with my Zumba mentor Jennifer.
