I heart ZUMBA!!

This week I just wasn't feeling like doing workout videos.  So instead I tried some workout classes at the gym on campus.  Monday I went to a kickboxing class.  The first warning sign to me was that it was like two minutes til class started and there were only three other people there. When there aren't many people at a class that says something. The first girl was singing some song at the top of her lungs and had her shorts rolled and her shirt tucked into her shorts.  She then proceeds to get three excersice balls, line them up, and then run across the room at them and roll on her stomach across all three. I left after I saw that.  So I got in a good cardio workout with 30 minutes on the stairmaster, 10 on the elliptical, and 10 on the treadmill. 
Tuesday I went to my first ever zumba class.  I heart zumba!! I can't believe that I haven't tried it before.  Well actually I can.  I have no rythm and can not dance for the life of me.  But some girls in my math class were raving about it so another girl asked me to go with her.  I also invited my friend Karlee and we all absolutely loved it.  I am picky about the classes I go to because I want to get just as good as or a better workout than I could do on my own.  This zumba class is taught by a guy from belgium and he is wonderful.  Plus the class is so packed it doesn't matter at all that I look like a fool.  I was definetly sweaty afterwards and I was smiling the whole time becuase it is so much fun.  LOVE ZUMBA!!!
Wednesday was another attempt at a class that failed.  Karlee and I met to go to cycling but the instructor was sick.  We did our own little class and took turns choosing what we did. 
And tonight was another wonderfully fun Zumba class.  I would totally recommend this to anybody.  The workout will fly by, you will have so much fun.  Just don't be embarrassed and give it a shot.

Yogis

Did you know people who do yoga are called yogis?! I was thinking they would be called yoga-ers but apparently not. I did yoga for like a week or two when I was in high school and trying to be more flexible but then I lost interest. But guess what?! Jillian came out with a Yoga workout video! And of course in Jillian fashion, it rocks. We found it at Costco last week and I was pretty darn excited. We were out with my parents shopping and getting dinner when I saw it and HAD to have it. I did the workout with Thomas and we were both sweating. It's nice to do on a day that you don't have to work out but you want to get some kind of workout in. I don't know about you all but I always feel guilty about not running or working out even if it's supposed to be a rest day. So this is a nice one cause you still get in a good workout but it's not pounding on your joints and allows them to rest a bit. I don't think I'll ever be a yogi but I would consider myself converted to Jillian's workouts. Does that make me a Jillian-er or a Jillian-ie?
