Zumba #2

Hey peeps,

A few weeks ago whilst on my trip I was raving about the latest craze to hit the fitness scene - ZUMBA!

Well upon my return to the UK, I decided to check it out at my local gym as I was hooked on my experience in the US.

I am traumatized and disappointed!

I often wonder why English people are so fascinated with Americans, the simple fact is America does things better ;) and before I create a mass influx of angry british people, its not everything but in most things.

And this was one of them!

Zumba is built around latin music etc, the Americans injected a little more ooomph into it and make it a booty shaking, high energetic workout!

So imagine my surprise when for 40 minutes I was doing moves to a christmas carol song????

Seriously , and it didn't get any better as the entire experience felt like an aerobic work out!

Finally towards the end of the session the Black Eyed Peas my favorite track came on, and I thought maybe some saving grace....but I was to be denied.

The lesson was boring , unimaginative, quite frankly I was stifling yawns throughout the session!

I did speak with the teacher afterwards as at the beginning I made it known I was a "newbie". I explained the lesson was boring and that I don't think I will be heading back.

She asked about my experience in the US and then asked me to teach her some of the moves I learned ???? Really.

So all in all a very disappointing experience, and I am yet again looking for a new Zumba class..... Any recommendations?

Until da next Tyme !
