I assumed that when I started at Dance Dynamics around 2 years ago that my fitness would improve. That was a give. Isn't that the main reason we all decide to "shake it" a couple of times a week? Zumba, contemporary, cha-cha , strength & tone; all of the classes give excellent workouts guaranteed to make you sweat ( didn't I hear that in a song some where?)
Anyway, the one thing I hadn't counted on was how much it would exercise my brain. Co-ordination is not my strong point and for those who happen to see me in action in class, it probably still isn't...but it has improved.
And in saying that, it has created some very hilarious moments. Talk about a challenge! There you are standing behind a few other people watching the instructor breeze through some awesome routine that you know should not be a problem and flow right through your body.....ummmm...maybe not. Wrong foot, arm is up not down....why am i facing the wrong way....Arghhhhh! It's a cracker. Not only am I exhausted from trying to keep up ( excellent for my physical fitness) but I now have a stitch from laughing so much at my haphazard attempts to look like my cool instructor. Fun, fun,fun. And hat's off to the very patient teachers who go over till you nail it. Getting fit while you laugh your head off. Who would have ever thought that exercise could that much fun. Can't wait for next class....
