You look fantastic! Congratulations.
I really don't lift weights. Maybe once a week one of my classes will incorporate weight lifting, but I don't do it regularly. I am certain that Zumba has helped my arms, I know it sounds silly...but I try to use my arms as much as I can (without looking like a total idiot)... :-) Thanks for the kind replies, everyone.

The class I take 4 times/week is more like Zumba Strong (even though it's listed as Zumba). The instructor is certified to do both. She does a lot of squats, even adds push-ups, to certain songs, etc. From the Zumba website:
How does STRONG by Zumba? differ from a Zumba® class?
A traditional Zumba® class is based on the integration of dance and dance-type movements, creating a high-cardio, total-body workout.
STRONG by Zumba? is a High Intensity Interval Training class using more traditional fitness moves for a more athletic, conditioning-style workout. You use your own body weight as resistance to achieve muscle definition. There are movements inspired by dance but these are limited compared to a Zumba® class, so it's perfect for those not comfortable in a full-out dance class.
Both classes are driven by a unique musical experience unlike anything else in the industry.
P.S. Thanks, Kathy, you are so nice.
