This is how I feel about Zumba! I can't seem to get enough. That being said, I took my first Group Power class (weights put to music basically) and I'd have to say it fell right in the same catagory. I really liked it. I think it will take me a few classes to get where I know the right amount of weights to use as I think I used to many on the arm part, and not enough on the legs, but I was fairly close. Don't get me wrong, I like the step classes to, but there is a definate emotional difference about them than the other two.
Anyway, I thought it was a very good way to describe a work out that is right for you. If you don't have that feeling towards your workout, its time to find a new one.
I'm glad there are bits of the book that will help you : ) Chalene is one of my biggest motivators is choosing a more positive and healthy life! If I have to argue with myself to workout then I'm not putting my all into it. I was going to spin classes for quite a while because they burn CRAZY calories but it really was a fight to go, I hated the classes! I LOOOOVE Zumba and TurboKick classes as well as Chalean Extreme and Les Mills Pump(both for my weight training). I have been through so many workouts over the years, I get bored easily, what can I say? : )
ReplyDeleteMaybe we'll have to find a Zumba class in MI this summer :):):) I love Zumba as well, and the weight training class was fun, and much better than machines :) I took the Kick boxing class today, and I don't know if I liked it much. Alot of bouncing, and I'm not a fan of bouncing. Maybe because too much jiggles still :) If I didn't jiggle so much, I might like it better :):):) I'll let you know what else I find in there.
ReplyDeleteI hear you on the jiggles, I was running this morning and lots of things jiggled-UGH!
DeleteZumba in MI with you sounds awesome : ) I prefer the weight training classes to the machines. I used machines for years but like the classes a lot more AND feel like I get a better workout!
Beverly said she knows a great place. We'll have to give it a shot :)
DeleteIn case anyone cares :) I have determined I have no love for the Group Kick classes. I've taken a couple and just can't get into it. I don't know if it's the jumping or the punching, but it all feels unnatural to me. Maybe when I lose a little more weight and feel stronger I'll try it again.
