(Dance) Step x (Dance) Step

Tonight I'm going to salsa, mamba, and regatón my way to a better body. I'm going to shake my booty, and in the process, hopefully make it shake a little less. I am heading back to Zumba, a cardio workout that blends a variety of latin dance styles. I haven't been to a Zumba class since the beginning of my pregnancy with Nate...almost a year now.

I'm so excited that I'm finally back at the gym, though I admit with full honesty, that if I didn't have such a dedicated dance class buddy, I wouldn't be going. Why is it so much easier to commit to exercising when you have an accountability partner? I'll look the fool tonight, but so will she. I'll be out of breath, but so will she. I'll stumble with new choreography, but so will she. And I take comfort in that. (Sick, I know.)

So, here's to accountability, to making good choices, and to looking the fool. :o)

I watch the people in my gym do Zumba and I laugh...not because they look ridiculous. Ok some of them do, but more because I know how awkward I would look. I'm not afraid to admit that Zumba scares me.

GO MINDY!
