Just ran an easy half hour today. I told myself that while Iwas pregnant, I would incorporate a variety of fitness methods to keep things interesting. When I'm training for running, I don't have the time or energy to do much else. So, after my run, I took my very first Zumba class.
I usually avoid dancy classes because I'm uncoordinated and ungraceful. But, the instructor for this particular class always made it look like so much fun, so I swallowed my pride and tried it out. It was nice to have an excuse to pull out all those moves that I would probably only try in the privacy of my own home. It was kind of fun to let my inner Diva out, though my prominent belly cut back on the sexy factor.
The best thing was that because I had to concentrate so hard on where to put my hands and feet, the class flew by. I'll probably try a class again, though I increasingly look like one of those hippo ballerinas from Fantasia. |
