ZUMBA

Zumba is a fitness program that involves hypnotic Latin rhymes and dancing. Working out is not always fun and for some people it is even boring but this particular fitness class is literally amazing. Zumba is an upbeat class that keeps you moving and wanting more. The Monroe County YMCA offers this class on Tuesday and Thursday evenings and the class is always packed. The class is an hour long and the time flies by. I have taken my fair share of fitness classes and TRX (which I talked about in my last blog) and Zumba are by far my favorites. Zumba class always has such a fun environment and there are people of all ages that participate. You will burn calories like crazy because you are constantly moving and working your entire body. Zumba is a great way to exercise while still having fun and getting great results! 

TRX

Today I woke up at four thirty AM to do a TRX class at the Monroe County YMCA. The class started at 5:30 and my friend and I wanted to get there early since this was going to be our first time taking the class. When the class started twelve people signed up which I thought was a lot considering it was still pitch black outside. The class started with a warm-up doing random things down and back the gym floor such as skipping and running. I kept thinking how this class was going to be so easy since I work out on a regular basis and take a lot of exercise classes. After the warm up we went to our spots and the class began. The first thing our instructor had us do was put our feet into the slots and flip over. Of course my friend and I were not paying attention to everything she said so we missed the part about crossing our feet so that when we flipped on our stomach the ropes wouldn't twist. Basically, my feet got all twisted up and I felt retarded. However, after the first 15mins I got use to TRX exercises and felt a little more comfortable. This class ended up being ten times harder then I thought it would be; there were exercises that I wasn't even able to do because they were so hard. I definitely recommend everyone to try a TRX class because it is definitely a class I am going to fit into my schedule. My whole body has been aching all day so its an hour that you wont regret!
