Hey Girls and Guys! Well I joined a fittness center Saturday. Although I've been walking outdoors, the recent fidgid weather has reaked havoc on that. So my best friend and I joined Fittness Lady together. I'm so excited. We started Saturday also. We walked a mile, biked 3 miles, and joined in on a Zumba class. It was so much FUN dancing to salsa music, but it wasn't easy. We were huffing and puffing and sweating at the end of the class, but felt great for doing it. We plan on water aerobics 2 nights a week, Zumba 2 nights a week, plus getting in a 2 miles of walking before the classes. I'm already seeing results, I lost 2 lbs the next day!!! I'm ready for the coming year...YESSSSSS!

how do you do it? do you feel really tired at the end of the day? or is it more the feeling of satisfaction that keeps you going. your story is inspiring. i will follow your example. thanxs

OH yes I am tired at the end of my work day, BUT...after 4:00 pm is the ONLY time I have for exercise, so I have to take that time and do it. Believe it or not I feel MUCH better after a work out...the tiredness goes away. My body aches go away, and I sleep well when I get home. I cook food on my days off, and have it ready for the days I'm working out. I usually don't get home until 7:30 to 8:00 pm. I leave at 7:30 am. I work out 4 days a week. And I walk 1.5 miles when I'm home. You just get used to doing it. JUST DO IT....And thank you for your compliments...very appreciated!!!

Wow That is an awsome schedual. Good for you! I am trying to go 3 days a week. I am loving my gym time. I let too many pressures at home distract me from that time. Sounds like excuses huh? I will work on more ME time.

Thanks for the inspiration!

Zumba is my absolute favorite! I still don't have any classes near me, so I do it at home. Congrats on getting your fitness on!!

I agree. Zumba is such a blast.

It hurts my knee so I have to modify some of the moves.Sometimes I feel like a clutz because I am so uncoordinated. I can get my legs going right, but when I throw the arm movements in, I mess it all up. I love it anyway, and I do the best I can!

Judy, that's awesome that you go so late. You are really motivated.I have to go first thing in the morning when I get up, or I just won't go. I have gone to Zumba after work though, just because I love it so much. I have to go when they offer the classes.
