Fun Workout Idea: Zumba Time!

What is the best way to get an energy boost and jump right into an absolutely awesome mood? A great workout of course! But tracking miles on the treadmill or going on and on with that stepper feels rather monotonous and dull to me and probably to you too. I have got a much more fun cardio workout idea for you which will also tone your whole body!

We met accidentally. I and my new friend Zumba, I mean. I was just looking around, checking out the new Jillian Michaels video. And there it was. My soon-to-be workout BFF Zumba Exhilarate DVD Experience set. I never would have though that the clumsy and uncoordinated me could ever like it. But I took a chance. And it paid off.

The full review of Zumba Exhilarate DVD Experience is still to come. I am still a beginner, trying to get through the Activate video. What I can say is, the first time I did it, I couldn't stop giggling. Firstly because I knew that I looked funny. I mean, belly dance, hip-hop, salsa and me? Who knew. And secondly because that workout basically made me do it. Made me. Hell, it didn't even feel like workout. It felt like a dance party. One of the instructors even admitted that she uses the Zumba moves in a nighclub sometimes. That's because the key word to this workout is fun. Fun, fun and more fun.

If you have a chance to buy this DVD or, even better, attend a real Zumba class, do it! You will get a great workout AND a big happy smile on your face. Remember, beauty isn't only about putting on foundation or eyeshadow. Being healthy is even more important. A big smile on a healthy and happy girl's face presents a new level of attractiveness, self-confidence and just pure awesomeness. Zumba can give you that if you take a chance and jump right into the mix of Latin dance styles.

What's your experience with Zumba? Leave a comment and tell me about it, and don't forget to follow my blog: soon enough, a full review of the DVD set mentioned above is coming, as well as a description of my first ever Zumba class. Ready to Zumba?
