The bitter cold winter was cruel , and to top it off Mother Nature and Father Time have been in my neighborhood kickin’ butt and takin’ names. I have a birthday coming up and they gave me a serious beat down just to remind me. My knees are squeaky, my back is stiff and The spare tire in my mid section is inflated to capacity.
Now I know of course that it’s the combination of cabin fever and heavy winter food that’s made me such an easy target for the dynamic duo; so In an attempt at self defense, I dug out my Zumba video and finally gave it a try. It really is a lot of fun. It makes me homesick though. It includes all the Caribbean rhythms I remember from hot fun in the summertime back in New York .
Just 10 years ago I could have knocked it out, I would have been the one kick’n butt, but now I find myself taking frequent breaks. oh well It is hard work but if I keep at it the pounds will melt off- I hope.
The only thing is I would be so much more inspired I they had some mature plus sized folks moving just to show me how it should be done.
