| Move your body! |
As I navigate retirement, I try to find ways to maintain my health and find ways to keep my workout regiment interesting, worthwhile, and effective in keeping yourself in good health.
This past Sunday, I signed up for an exercise class at the local 24 hour fitness gym. I signed up for Zumba. 24 Hour Fitness describes as
"Zumba® fuses hypnotic Latin rhythms with easy-to-follow moves to create a dynamic fitness program. The goal is simple: to want to work out, to love working out and to get hooked. Zumba® fanatics achieve long-term benefits in one exhilarating hour of calorie-burning, body-energizing, awe-inspiring movements." 
Getting ready for class workout
I couldn't agree more. As a first timer, I was met with a warm welcome applause as the instructor asked if anyone's first time. It was early Sunday morning, I didn't realize quite of few attendees were up and enthusiastic at a 9:00 am start time. The attendees appear to be mostly women, older, and were clearly regulars. I counted maybe less than 5 men? It was a full class, close to 45 people. I love classes that helps me move my body and this class was well run, with easy moves, it took me awhile to get my "rhythm", but overall it was good. I'd like to try this on a regular basis. As we all age, it's important to keep moving.

After the class, I felt relieved, it was a good one hour session. A good sweat after this vigorous work out. It's good to know I can always try something new, this one seems to be a winner. The question is will I be able to keep up? Stay tuned!
