    Well, at the time I was also attending a pilates class as well. I went to class at least 3-4 times per week.

    I got to teach my choreography in class again tonight which was awesome, and she had several new routines with a lot more sass. So that helped a lot, but I am still so accustomed to such upbeat routines that I am still tempted to fall back into my old routines!

    Had my zumba fix today. All is right in the world. :bigsmile:

    Grin. I'm getting my fix tonight and I'm really looking forward to it. Our instructor introduced a new song/routine on Tuesday night and he's going to teach us more of it tonight--the music has an amazing dance beat to it [Gonna shake it and make mami proud!]

    Hey y'all! So I went to a zumba class today in a nearby town. The instructor was so peppy and awesome! It was a very high impact class which was so awesome, but the only problem was that the class took place in a studio that had a very rubbery floor (made out of those interlocking mats) It was hard for me to dance on it because the traction was too high! Now my knees hurt, which makes sad, because the class was very fun, and only 20 minutes away.

    What kind of floor do you guys zumba on? I really like a hardwood floor, and anything else really messes with me! Especially this rubbery stuff that has really high grip factor.

    Both floors I dance on are carpet and I find that if I put a pair of knee highs over my shoes it allows me to really be able to do the twist and turns without twisting my knees. And I still work just as hard as far as my calorie burn.

    One of the floors is at a gymnastics place and the floor is one of those spring board floors, and just for the record its extremely fun to dance on that because its so bouncy.:):bigsmile:

    Hey that's a good idea. Maybe I will get some of those footies like they have in the shoe store to try next time!

    I bought a pair of "dance sneakers" Bloch and Capezio make them...and they have made a huge difference! Cushioned and supportive, but with a split sole and not a lot of traction.

    Also, in other news...I signed up for salsa lessons last night. I want to get more "stylistically correct" if I'm going to get certified to teach.

    This is pretty exciting, fellow zumba-holics: the last time I measured my waist, I had not started zumba. After three months of zumba at least three times a week (and a couple tweaks in my diet) I have lost an inch off of my waist at its narrowest point, and a half inch of my "bellybutton waist". I have been trying to lose size on the low waist/belly region for. ever.

    Mucho gusto. Mami likes this.:wink:

    I'm FINALLY getting to a zumba class tonight! It was cancelled all last week. I'm tired from the weekend but very excited to SHAKE IT!

    I HAVE to get motivated with zumba and running simultaneously again. I feel the inches creeping on the mid-section and I'm NOTinto it. :blushing:

    Happy Monday!
