I also got in about 30 minutes of strength training (upper body), which is a lot less than usual, but I was late getting to the gym. Over 7,000 steps & over 800 calories burned in an hour and a half, according to my watch.  

That’s awesome! 

Awesome!!! LOLOL, you put a vivid mental image in my head! I got you doing one of those twerk squat things, with your hands clasp behind your head and everything flapping....then I replaced you with me and just fell over laughing!!! Thanks for the giggle Sis!!! 

zumba is great fun 😊 it feels less like work than the average workout, doesn't it? 

Good for you ,glad you had fun and laughter 😊 

Thanks, all! 💜  

@Deb... Oooooooo... I WOULD HAVE ABSOLUTELY LOVED FOR YOU TO HAVE BEEN THERE!!! The instructor played a combination of hip hop & Latin music. Girrrllll, you should have seen me swAngin' my hips to the Latin music! 🤣😂😅 Spanish clubs were my thing before I got married & actually where I met the hubby. I almost broke out on my own with the butterfly to one particular song. 🤪🤣💀 The most fun dance of all had to be the one to we did to Will Smith's "Get jiggy with it" though. 🫣😆 

@Marianne Yes, hunny! I would have died from boredom and/or cardiac arrest trying to burn that many calories on the treadmill or elliptical...lol. 

I'm not a Zumba fan but I'm glad you enjoyed it! To much dancing for me..I have no rhythm and I'm a klutz!💃💃 

The picture you put in my head put a smile on my face. Ive never done Zumba but it sure looks like fun.  

I love to dance, much like my singing...what I lack in talent I make up for in enthusiasm, what I lack in grace is covered with laughter, so anytime shaking booties (or shaking everything) is involved...I'm all in!!  

Debra you are my kind of girl. I knew it a long time ago you just reinforced it. 

@Diana No one takes being out of step too seriously. I'm pretty sure no one there (including myself) will ever make it to America's Got Talent...lol. Most of all no one is screaming at you like some classes I've seen. Women just kinda look over at each other and giggled in-between songs. I used to love to TRY to dance, but haven't been dancing since I got married. It felt really good to the soul. Going again tomorrow & will hit the core while I'm there. 

Deb, you said it perfectly!  

Deb & YOH, y'all have GOT to give it a try! I'm debating making an hour one way drive once a week just to get in another session.That's how much I enjoyed it!  

Zen, so I went for a hunt on You Tube and cast this one to my big TV and well, I had a bit of trouble keeping up...but it was fun! I did shake the booty...and just marched in place during the high knee lifts which are still really hard for me...I did try lifting my knees higher during the march, but the muscles need more building...baby steps. I can practice here..then maybe I will be ready when the gym gets opened up to try some real classes instead of dancing in my living room!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mZeFvX3ALKY 

THAT'S AWESOME, DEB!!! 😁 I'm glad you had fun! There's absolutely nothing wrong with the living room! I might start doing some of that myself. I watched the entire video just to check you out...lol. Hey! We should get on zoom or something & do it together! 🤣 This is one of my favorite Latin songs. I love the lil dance, too. https://youtu.be/HRPXVXPdV7k?feature=shared 

Zen, I love the song and the rhythm, I'm the girl in the back in the yellow t-shirt that can't tell her left from her right...but can double step and catch up!!! LOL  

@Deb Ha! Good eye! You and me both! ...at least on the first & second try...lol. I had to do some two stepping to catch up, but still did better than I expected...lol. I've got to come up with a better plan for Zumba, bc classes are Mon & Wed evening for an hour. My leg days fall on Tue & Fri. After that much After that much on my legs M,T, & W , I ended up skipping leg day this Friday. I could just feel that they weren't recovered enough. I normally try not to go to the gym too much on the weekend, bc hubby is home. Idk... gotta come up with a plan. 

Maybe just catch one Zumba Class instead of two???? You don't gotta be greedy you know 😁
