NSV - I can Zumba to Jump Jive & Wail!

So, I know it may not sound like much, but I nearly cried when I tried my Zumba CORE Wii for the first time and realized the Jump Jive & Wail song was too difficult for me to dance too. The chorus was very quick, with the Zumba instructor jumping from one side to the other and then doing two jumping jacks in a row. I felt so dreadful thinking that he is older than me, most likely, (I'm 22) and yet he could dance these moves. For those who don't know, the Zumba games for Wii are danced by real people with monitors on their skin. I was so happy today because I have been using the game on and off for maybe a week or two and this is about my 5th time playing, but I could dance the song entirely and I got 5/5 stars. :] I know it may sound silly to some people, but it made me feel really good, though out of breath, to be able to not only do the jumping part, but to realize I can reach lower to the ground during the twist and the stretch moves in other songs too, when I could not before or I'd lose balance often. I feel like my strength/endurance has improved a lot quickly. xo
