ouch!!

I may be getting too old for Zumba.

When I first joined the gym 3 years ago, zumba was a class I regularly attended. I loved the movement, the energy, the music...it was really an incredible atmosphere of fun and fitness. I realized over time that I needed more weights based training if I was going to see any change in my body size and shape. Zumba is fun, and it's great cardio, but it doesn't really change the shape of your body the way that lifting weights does. So I gave up my evening Zumba in favor of early morning workouts on my own.

I have since learned, quite painfully, that Zumba is not something that you can just "pick back up". Apparently over the last couple years the songs and the moves have sped up significantly! I tried to keep up and did my best but I will probably need to attend with more regularity to figure out all the moves. As a result my right hip has felt a bit of a pull my left knee is a bit wonky. I know that by tomorrow the pain will go away but it always makes me a little to aware of the aging process when I feel these tugs. Getting old sucks...but I'm going to get there dancing!
