Zumba Zumba!

So this week one of my goals was to try a new form of exercise.


Everyone else seems to have jumped on the Zumba band wagon so I thought this would be a good one to try - also I had access to some DVD's which made it an easy choice. Much to my surprise it was actually pretty fun! (and very catchy)
Since it was a Thursday night and it was already 8.30 when I started I decided to only do the 20 minute express version rather than the 50 minute. This way I also got a taste of a couple of the different styles they do. One of the best parts of Zumba is that the music is so catchy that it gets stuck in your head and you end up Zumba-ing all around the house, so your 20 minute workout turns into 30 minutes.

This seems like it would be a great way to get some cardio in with out having to spend time on the exercycle or treadmill. It also seems like it would be a great way to add a bit of variety to your workout.

I must say it is one of those exercises where you feel like you are a real pro at it when you are dancing around the living room but in reality you probably look like a fish flopping around on dry land. But hey who cares so long as you have fun and it burns fat.

So that's one goal down for the week, and I will be putting $20 in the tin towards some new pj's from Peter Alexander. They have some really cute "Dino-Snore" pj pants at the moment as well as really interesting sailor themed sleep wear. Can't wait to go in and pick something out.


I definitely think I will be trying out some other different types of exercise. If you know of any that you think would be worth a try please let me know and I will add them to the list.

Until next time -  Be your own kind of beautiful (even if it is a flopping fish on dry land hahahahah) :)
