Yesterday I went to a zumba class and worked on my own zumba dance moves for my class on Sunday. I had already taken the zumba class, but I wanted to see if the instructor had any good moves. However, she did the exact same moves as last time and often lost her class again. At the beginning of each song, she’d stop and talk about the dance moves, which I didn’t like because your workout begins to lose effectiveness if you take too many or too long of breaks. There weren’t any dance moves I wanted to take from the class, but it was fun regardless. I continued creating dances for zumba. I think the hardest part about it, was attempting to make sure people will be able to catch on to the dance. You have to make sure that the move is a multiple of four counts so that it fits the music, that it’s easy enough to learn, and that it is an effective move that will make a body part really work.
Today, I took a Pilates Mat class. I have had back problems for a while and they really peek during volleyball season due to over extension and over compensating different parts of my body for others. Though it was painful at times, I really could feel my core building and strengthening. In the future, if I have more back pain, I will definitely resort to doing more Pilates. After Pilates, Katie and I went over our zumba dances about three more times and realized that it wouldn’t last the full hour. As a result, we each added two more songs. Therefore, today and tomorrow I will be working my bottom off to finish and remember these dances.
