So last night I went home got changed and then got up and went to the gym for my very first Zumba class. It was on the whole a success. I had a good time and I did sweat...quite a bit! There were about 11 of us in the class so was a nice size and I was very fortunate that I was able to pick up the steps really quickly which was good. The instructor was alright.... but not great. I will be really honest she wasn't really what I was looking for as an instructor. Now this is going to sound really really harsh but firstly she was quite overweight... now this is really bad I know... but I am going there to tone up and lose weight and if the instructor is overweight it makes me think will this work. I know it will, I know that that is very harsh but I want to be taught by somebody that has a great figure where I can look at her and go "I must keep on pushing as then I will have a figure like hers". The other things I didn't like is that she played Country Music.. I like country music and I like Line Dancing but I wasn't there for that I was there for Zumba. She also didn't really say what she was doing in advance so at one point you have your arms up in the air and then you are still doing that and she is walking in the opposite direction down the studio. Like I said I was lucky enough that I was able to follow quite quickly but I think if I hadn't been used to the music and the kind of moves that you get with Latin style then I would have struggled quite alot. I guess I would have described as more of an aerobics class than a Zumba class.
BUT....I was talking to a few people in the class and the lady that was teaching us yesterday is covering for the normal instructor who is on holiday. She was saying that the normal instructor is far more into the dance style and it is alot more Zumba orientated. So I have already booked myself into the class for next week and overall I did really enjoy it. It was fun, active and it made me sweat so I am happy with that.
Have a good a weekend everybody! Fingers crossed for a loss on the scales on Monday!
