So I've been exercising a whole bunch more than usual, but it's really not a *whole* lot. It's a 20 min walk every day, which is pretty minor, and 20 minutes of actual aerobic exercise 3 times a week. Today Zumba started at work though, a full 60 minutes of jumping around. I love Zumba, but I didn't know if I'd be able to make it the whole hour. I suited up with trepidation and hoped for a dance sort of instructor rather than a drill instructor/super athlete type.
The instructor I got was in between, which is pretty much the best sort. That way I don't feel too entirely graceless (like with the sensual dance guy), and I didn't have to feel like I had no hope of being able to follow the instructor (like miss I'm a competitive cheerleader in my spare time). It was pretty quick dancing though! For my first time in over a year of Zumba I think I did pretty good. I did have to modify some moves. I never jump off the ground because I am heavy and I value my knees. Also, when doing moves that involve torquing around so that there would be sideways pressure on my knees I modify it so I step into the position rather than "twirl" there...if that makes sense. The good thing is that I made it the whole 60 minutes!
I could tell as soon as I got home that I'm going to be sore tomorrow. I think it'll be ok though.
Yeesh, so far this blog is like a diet blog. I'm not trying to plan too much about Burning Man yet until I know I have a ticket. Hopefully that will be February 13. I'm nervous about possibly not getting tickets.
