My 16-y-o son asked if he join the local YMCA. I said, "Of course!" and decided to join too :) I've been walking the neighborhood (3 miles almost daily), but it's starting to get cold (and boring)!

I did my first Zumba class today. It was really fun. I hope I'm not too sore tomorrow...I used to do Step years ago and can't wait to try the Step classes too. Yay.

Congrats! I started doing Zumba in September and I still feel totally uncoordinated, but it's a lot of fun anyway.

Me too(feeling uncoordinated) - I tried keeping up and would notice I was on my left when they were in their right...LOL...but we are moving and that's all that matters. Thanks for the encouragement!

I've felt uncoordinated in Zumba and Jazzercise classes. I let that stop me from doing them. Your mention of "but we are moving and that's all that matters" is encouraging to me.

Everyone in my class, except the teacher, is awkward and uncoordinated. So I feel like I'm in good company :)
