Move Those Hips

Last night I checked out the BodyBlast studio for my first ever Zumba class. I had a Groupon that gave me a month of unlimited classes for $30, it sounded like a pretty good deal considering the classes are normally $10 per class. I just need to go 3 times in the 30 days to make it worth it. After checking the calendar I decided Zumba would be my first class to try and it was a blast! The studio is combined with a MMA gym which seems strange to have a bunch of ladies walking into a decked out MMA gym but it seems to work. BodyBlast offers Zumba, Pole fitness, Step, GroupTRX, Cardio Kickboxing, Hip-Hop, Yoga and Kettlebells.

I was a bit apprehensive when I walked in and saw it was a group of senior citizen ladies and then the instructor walked in and I immediately knew why. He is a rather handsome Latin man and the ladies were there for the workout and the eye candy They situated themselves right up front and were ready to Zumba away. As it got closer to the start of class time a group of ladies closer to my age came in and I was no longer the youngest in the room.

Dance was a part of my life when I was younger but I have never been able to achieve moving my hips like that. The class was a lot of fun and by the time it was over it felt like I got a pretty great workout in. Sweat was pouring and I was tired! I liked the music selection and it seemed like I was picking up the steps. I may use this to replace a cardio session but it would never be all that I do. The upcoming classes that I am really excited to try a kettlebell class and the TRX system. Look for those reviews as soon as I can fit those classes into the calendar.
