Tonight I joined in on the Zumba fad for the first time. My cousin Audrey and sister-in-law Kim talked me in to giving it a try. I wonder if, after tonight's class, they regret it...if they were embarrassed to know me.
I know I was embarrassed to know me.
Because I'm sooooooo uncoordinated.
And I suck.
And I kept bumping into the people around me.
And I might have almost fallen once.
I'm a Zumba disaster...kinda like the lady in the picture above. But she looks like a clueless Zumba disaster...at least I know I'm a Zumba disaster. That's a start, right?
And I'm serious...I'm not just saying that I'm an uncoordinated disaster in the way that everyone says they're uncoordinated. I really am. I might just be the most uncoordinated person I know.
If you don't believe me just ask my brother Tyler to see the video he took of me the first time I played wii tennis. I was pretty horrible. I was all over the room swinging that wii controller around uncontrollably. Tyler said that if he posted the video on YouTube that it would definitely go viral. I didn't let him. Maybe I should have though. I might be YouTube famous by now.
I'm just naturally uncoordinated I suppose. It's not that my parents didn't try to help me. From a young age they had me in ballet, jazz, tap, and gymnastics classes. But I was pretty much hopeless from the beginning. Someday maybe I'll post the video of me at my first ballet recital so you can see for yourselves just how bad I really was. I was so horrible that people in the audience laughed when it came time for my little solo twirl with star-wand wave combo. Well, at least I was funny I guess.
Anyway, I figured that regardless of my dancing disability, I'd better get doing something...before my fat rolls get any more numerous or large. I don't want to start losing things in them...like car keys or fried chicken.
I don't know why I've always been so worried about losing fried chicken in my fat rolls.
Because I don't even eat fried chicken.
Anyway, it's back to Zumba again tomorrow. I'm not quite ready to give up yet. Even if I am embarrassing myself.
Wish me luck!

Here's wishing you good luck!
Not giving up. That's the spirit!
I looked up Zumba on the Internet and it looked hard to me; fun, but hard. I guess I'll just stick with Jillian.
Wow, I'm way behind. The last exercise video I did regularly was Jane Fonda. YUK
But look at the pure joy on the crazy woman's face. That can be you.
I'm sorry you are uncoordinated. I am also not too great of a dancer, but I really like Zumba. The first time I went I looked ridiculous. It gets easier after a few months. They repeat a lot of the same moves so it becomes relatively easy, but you get a good work out! I think you should stick with it! My Zumba teacher is amazing! Make sure you go to a great teacher- they can make all the difference!
