I just want to let everyone know I am a size 16 now and still dropping. I became a Zumba instructor and took my toning training recently as well :-) I am planing on starting a class after the new year. I am nervous because I still feel like I am a big girl at times and being in front of ppl can be scary cuz you think you…

My above response is to this sorry, on my cell

See to you size don't matter but to some it does as you can see in the comments of this post. I have the video games for Zumba and did start with that the. Started attending many classes. I was larger than a size 18. I had not seen a larger instructor myself so was curious as to what people thought. I am now an instructor…

:-)

Awesome!

Www.ontfitcity.com This is my trainers site and he has a few ladies including myself blogging, I am Samantha :-) I have yet to get this weeks up, kinda slacking today lol

Everyone has to start somewhere, yes I find it sad people judge the way they do, I will not always be how I am as i am working on me, but other ppl need to feel they can do it as well and I will have before picture and progress pictures available. I am also writing in a blog on my trainers site during the process. There is…

I am not going to be everyones choice, no one is. I have had instructors I like and ones I don't. All I can do is help motivate the people who come. I am more fit then I was months ago and I am going to be continually working on myself even after I take this zumba instructor class. I will never judge someone and their…

I don't at all, I am working towards a goal myself and will continue to do so, my trainer is the Director of personal training at my gym and is totally all for it and think I will do awesome. He has got me to do a lot of things I was not comfortable with at first. I am excited to be doing it.

And that would be peoples choice, if people are too full of themselves to see past someone's exterior that is their problem and I am sure they have a very unhappy life. Where as it will encourage people who are intimidated by "skinny" instructors to come out and get active, those are the people I care about more and would…

Perhaps you would need to ask the intructor where they started from? as oppose to judging before you even participated in the class. also, like some people have said, you be amazed on how some people who are heavier than yourself can move better and give you a better workout than someone "skinny".

Thanks, I am trying and it helps to have people who support what you wanna do. My trainer is totally happy I want to do this and is all for me doing it and thinks I will be good at it. He is amazed all the time on my ability to do things so lol. He has a goal himself to reach out to people to get healthy and fit, hence I…

There are different levels so to speak of zumba, there is ones for kids, seniors, and the different kinds of dance, I am taking the first july 27th and will work my way from there. I do plan on taking the one for kids also as my neice loves Zumba. It's a day for the first one I am taking so, shall prove interesting.

Ok, I did it, Signed up and am set to learn to become and instructor July 27th! I have been working with a personal trainer and doing bootcamp, he also has me blogging! check it out at www.onefitcity.com I am Samantha :-) Lots of hard work and dedication going into this, I have lost about 33 lbs since I been really trying,…

I have not had a Zumba instructor not finish a class lmao, that would be totally weird. I am able to keep up lol, we just went to a Zumba party and me and a friend did the whole 1.5 hrs of Zumba (running for water between) lol Was great! And still went to the class I goto the next day :-)

I do Zumba lots! It's a passion and I am super excited now that I seem all these responses. I have done a form of dance since I was little to early teens which might explain why I like Zumba so much. Zumba makes me happier and more motivated.

Yah I get what you mean, I am not a slacking and don't get winded haha... I had a skinny instructor watch herself and not care about the people in the class, I stopped going to that one...

Thank you, I will do the next one that works with my schedule... I just wanted to hear a few opinions :-)

Thanks for the advice... The current class is when I am outta town but will look for the next ones... As for the negative feedback, it's fair, not everyone will have the same opinion... But probably some better choice of words to use? But for some people skinny instructors intimidate them and I would want to encourage more…

I figured it would be motivating someone doing it with you, and you noticing a difference in yourself and your instructor... My mother mentioned too once I am smaller can show people before pictures and a difference it has made in my life.

Yah I have actually lol, I am really impatient and like to do things as I want to... I just been unsure if I should wait till I slimmed down more... I have noticed how much energy I have doing it too, helps so much when your totally into doing it, never going to let myself go again! Thanks :-)
