Zumba Check-in

I know! It has been over a week since I introduced this months challenge.  Zumba is a ton of fun and boy does it cause the sweat to run.  The hardest part after a long day at work is waiting to eat dinner till after I press play; doing a Zumba workout on a full stomach highly NOT recommended.   The only benefit to this intense heat/sweat producing dance workout is that the weather here in the Upper Midwest has taken a turn for the cooler -a little earlier than usual but I'm not going to complain just yet.

August -Zumba Anyone?!

Zumba!  It was seen on the last season of "Biggest Loser," discussed on CNN as a way to get children motivated into being more active i.e. Exercise Can Be FUN!  So what is Zumba?  Well, it is a Latin inspired dance-fitness program.  Unlike other group fitness or group dance-fitness crazes Zumba is a different kind of Hot Colombian import that combines the cha-cha with funky Latin beats created by the celebrity fitness trainer Alberto "Beto" Perez.

So why am I talking about Zumba?  Well, I decided that this will be my August Challenge.  20-30 minutes of Zumba daily using my Wii Zumba fitness "game."  

Let the Latin Rhythms Begin!
