Dance Your Weight Away
We all know it… have a look in the mirror, see yourself standing there and think: mmm, I gotta lose some weight! Sounds familiar? Yeah? I know it would!
Diets, fitness, exercise, you name it, I did it. Diets are a disaster, for every time you sort of stop, you will fall back to your old weight (or even more) before you know it! Can’t fool your body! It’s a diferent lifestyle you need, with different habits, not a diet… I know that, but what about the rest of the family, huh? Not everybody joins in happily and stays happy…
Fitness, exercise, boring boring… besides, being 57 does have its limits 
But now I have found something: WOW! I am just a newbie at it, but I already love it! It’s called Zumba and you probably have heard about it, because this way of exercising is conquering the globe - or at least a big part of it. If you like to dance - I love to dance - than this is for you. If you like latin dances, then this is a must! On the rhytm of salsa, merengue and other latin dances I never heard of before, you do your exercises in dance steps. It’s fun to do and on the DVD every step is broken down in 3 ‘beats’, permitting you to learn the steps real easily. Once you mastered the steps, the fun can begin! Dance your weight away, burn calories by the hundreds and get in the mood of long summer evenings, beach parties and great dancing… what else do you want?
I know you can order the DVD’s to learn it at home, I did, but it’s kind of expensive here in the Netherlands, around $100.00. You can try a lesson at your local gym first, to see if you do indeed like it and it’s worth the money you are going to spend. The good point in this Zumba training is that the DVD’s won’t go to waste if you give it a rest for a while, you can do it anywhere you like (no machines or sturdy apparel to drag around) and who knows, your family members might join you in the fun! And after that: piña coladas… ha ha, just joking! 
Although…
ps I am not a reseller of this Zumba method, just an enthusiastic!

Sounds great, I love to see people so enthusiastic about dance and exercise like me!
Yeah Jillianz, you remember Abba’s song “Thank you for the music”? Where the lyric goes like: “Mother says I was a dancer before I could walk”?
That’s me! I have been like that all my life!
