Now that my life has settled into a regular schedule, I've wanted to get into some healthy habits. One of them is committing myself to regular exercise. I saw a flyer on Facebook for Zumba and Pound classes in my area. My friend and I decided to try it out, in the name of getting fit. For me, it was my first time doing both Zumba and Pound. Though I didn't know much about these popular exercise routines, I definitely do now. Before, during, and after the class, I had a lot of thoughts about it. Here are just a few of them.
1. Is it necessary to do some
stretching first?
2. I thought these were
called “drumsticks” not “ripsticks”
3. I hope the ripsticks don’t
fall out of my sweaty hands during the routine
4. I feel like a drummer of a
rock band, getting the crowd pepped up for the show
5. It seems that a necessary
part of Pound is the ability to find the beat in the music
6. Wow, you’ve got to bend
down really far to hit the ripsticks on the floor
7. I hope I don’t hurt
someone swinging these sticks all around
8. Okay, Pound is actually
really fun
9. Zumba is probably the most
popular exercise routine ever
10. Woah, this got fast
quick
11. How do you move your feet
like that?
12. I really can’t keep up with
this
13. Zumba is "Just Dance" on
steroids
14. Dancing is such a good
time, and such a great form of exercise
15. Zumba just doesn’t give
you a break, does it?
16. Sweat is literally
dripping off my face
17. Finally, a break!
18. I really should have
stretched my legs before class
19. My thighs hurt so bad, I
don’t know how I’m going to walk out of here
