Zumba?



Recommended Posts

Was just wondering if anyone else has fallen in love with zumba. Im 120lbs down since my RNY. I started zumba- self conscious- standing in the back. I've fallen in love. Its my one hour to forget life and just dance. My goal is to become a zumba certified instructor in 2014. If you have t tried it- I highly recommend it. Hopefully you'll love it and fall in love with this exercise as much as I have!

I'm planning to take a class after surgery. How long did you wait after surgery before starting?

I believe about 6 weeks. I was cleared after 4 but was nervous about the jumping etc so i waited longer. The best thing about zumba is you can go at your own speed and level. If you cant do a move you improvise!! So fun and non judgmental

Zumba is only great when you have a skilled instructor with an amazing playlist - same goes with any other group fitness class such as spinning and kickboxing. I love them all with the right instructor and music (: of course a great energized groups makes a huge difference too!!

New jewel,

zumba is awesome. I go to parties almost every month. Going to one this Saturday! Great hour to let the stress go and enjoy yourself!

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
