So I took an hour high energy Zumba class at 9:30 AM yesterday morning (Thanksgiving) with the rest of the crazy group exerciser crew. It's a Thanksgiving tradition - doing a high end exercise class on Thanksgiving morning so we can EAT a LOT later without too much guilt.
Anyway, the instructor, Susan, was fabulous.Fun high energy routine, on beat, perfect 32 count choreography. I had never taken her class before. I was able to do it perfectly and even cues her routine at points (5,6,7,8.... single, single, double (8 beats), single, single double (8 beats), single, single, double (8 beats), single, single, JUMP (8 beats)......
Perfect 32's. Makes it easy to anticipate what is coming up next!!!!
I told Susan how fabulous she is after class. She told me that "I made the class".
I was the only guy in a crowded class of about 25 women. I am definitely high energy and vocal, which most instructors like to see in their class. Some instructors (female) that I have known well over the years explained that having a guy that knows what he is doing in "dance exercise" class adds "sexual tension" to the class (in a good way).
Whatever - I just like to have high energy FUN. (OK... and the nice bodies in motion in class are always nice to observe, discreetly)...
The rest of the day - I cooked, napped, and ate, followed by more naps....
I enjoy group exercise, but I also enjoy good food, and good rest.
P.S. I was the TANNEST person in class by far. No one close. It's good to be Tan, Fit, and the only guy in class with a bunch of lovely lady friends that I have known for years. It's also good that they know my lovely spouse of 32 years... who often takes class with me.
