So, I\u2019ve started taking a Zumba class. I believe I was tricked into it.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou like dancing!\u201d<\/em>
\nMe:<\/strong> \u201cYes, but at weddings\u2026in the dark\u2026or on a cruise ship\u2026where no one will see me again.\u201d<\/em><\/span>
\n“Well, you\u2019ll love Zumba! Zumba is like dancing. But it\u2019s an exercise class.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Gah. \u00a0Exercise.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t get me wrong. I think exercising is important. I just really don\u2019t enjoy it.\u00a0I wish it was that thing you could do once and feel like, \u201cHey, I’ve accomplished exercise. That was nice. Now what?\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

I wish you could buy exercise at the store.<\/p>\n

I wish I could have someone else do the exercise for me\u2014kind of like having a house cleaner for my dirty bathroom.<\/p>\n

I think I\u2019d be a millionaire if I could invent that \u201cthing\u201d where if you are watching other people exercise you\u2019d feel the effects of their working out. Kind of like a Staples Easy Button. Watch this hockey game, get a full workout. I always feel better after I work out, it\u2019s just the mental fortitude to actually get out there and \u201cjust do it.\u201d<\/p>\n

So. \u00a0Zumba it is.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s like dancing. \u00a0But, I\u2019m wearing workout gear and I sweat. A lot.\u00a0After the first class I realized I should probably give it one more chance. After all, the music is catchy, some unusual salsa steps and a lot of…well…jiggling.<\/p>\n

But, there is hope. It\u2019s taken me several classes and I have started to catch on. There is a fear if I miss one, I\u2019ll never catch up again.<\/p>\n

Look, if I\u2019m going to have to exercise, I might as well be doing Zumba. Why? I hate to admit it, but it\u2019s actually fun.<\/strong> This exercise is fun. (I actually used exercise and fun in the same sentence). \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Next year I might even attempt a half-marathon.<\/span><\/p>\n

But only if someone will do it for me.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
