Happy New Year All... although a tad late..lol

Hi all,
Happy New Year to you all.. I haven't been on here much as I have been extremely busy with college and life in general. My weight loss was stalled for a little while but is now back on track. I am 2 lbs away from losing  100 lbs. Right now I am batteling the flu, even after I got the darn flu shot in Sept. so I haven't exercised this past week but I am ADDICTED to Zumba!... I have the Xbox live version of it and it kicks your butt... I do it every morning for 20 mins and was going to up it to 45 mins but after been sick this week I will probably stay with the 20 mins classes for another week when I start it up again.
Does anyone else do Zumba? either at home or at a facility?? I want to take an official class but I want to get better at it first..lol.

Also I am thinking about going to a spin class.. I know that is a difficult thing to get through but I have to try it, right?

Well I hope you all are doing well, for the new people to the site.. welcome you have come to the right place for help and support.

Hugs

Happy New year your way too Davina.  I tried a few minutes of a zumba class at our wls support mtg a few months ago, it is an hour drive to get to the class.  But, getting my wii installed in the new garage space one of these days, getting into anything on the wii will help.

Congrats on your success.  Hugs

Nice to hear from you stranger! And good for you on keeping really active. Sorry you are sick. I hope you get well very soon. If it is the flu you should kick it in 78 hours. If not, its likely a nasty cold, which can mimick the flu.

I have not tried Zumba, but it looks fun and challenging. They have zumba classes at the fitness center at the college I start at tomorrow, so I may check it out, but i think I too would benefit by working on learning it in provate first..lol. They also offer belly dancing & yoga at the college fitness center. They have strength training equip and curcuit (like curves) so I plan to use those at least 2 days a week. I will be on campus 4 days a week. I too need to get my Wii up and running. That thing is a beast if you do the workouts how you are supposed to!

I do an AquaZumba class and I am going to be gettumba for my Wii also! Zumba in the water really has a lot or resistance and it gets you burning your calories! It is FUN!

Hi - good luck with the spin class - I really love my class. The first class that I went to the instructor lent me a padded seat which made such a difference as otherwise it can be very painful ! I've now bought my own gel seat which sits over the tiny bike seat at class. If you don't get lent a seat then maybe a thick towel would do the job.

Enjoy !
