Revisit Past Dramas
Zumba all the way5/21/2014 I've always wanted to do Zumba (one of the not so new ways of reducing your fat). It's actually an exercise routine except the steps are much dancey and fun. According to Wikipedia, Zumba is a dance fitness program created by Colombian dancer and choreographer Alberto "Beto" Perez during the 1990s. It involves dance and aerobic elements. Zumba's choreography incorporates hip-hop, soca, samba, salsa, merengue, mambo and martial arts. Squats and lunges are also included. I am really a fan of dancing which made me want to try this program out. So when the mall nearest me (SM Bacoor) announced they are going to have free sessions I signed up. So I got a little late but surprise surprise! program started way late than the allotted time. There were of course a lot of women who wanted to trim off excess inches like me. Program was annoyingly late it actually started 45 minutes later than appointed time but do not be fooled. Although it starts late you still need to come early or the good places will be gone.
The whole program is actually fun all you need to do is mimic the steps of the instructor onstage. The routine was a mix of hip hop with clapping, shouting and steps that would involve shaking your hips and booty. There were also those squats and stretches which were quite easy to follow. Although if you are not a good follower you really need to follow my advice above about being early . Being early assures you of a good spot, characterized by you seeing the instructor clearly even if you are in the middle of following the steps. It also gives you assurance that you have all the space you might need when you start going around. I tell you the stage is not high enough so if you are in the back you won't get a view of the instructor's feet or even his hips. Program ended earlier than expected (on my time at least, which I thought was cheating since I was expecting 2 hours of semi dancing) but it's alright since I was tired already from trying to see from where I was. When you have the time to try Zumba make sure that you have the essentials (towel, water, extra shirt) and your camera since after the session you can take pictures with the good- looking instructors (hehe). Of course, have fun too while you subtract those inches from your waist.
