Hey y'all! It's Anne with a real good question...
Do you think that by being uncoordinated, a person would actually burn more calories?
For example, when I do Zumba (in the privacy of my own home) I'm always way off the mark. It's all I can do sometimes to just keep up to tempo. They go right, I go left.... I just get the steps down with my feet and they say, "Now add the arms!" and I start gyrating all over the place. I really think that I work harder than someone like Paula Abdul would have to.
My husband is threatening to take us on a little vacay this spring, so I now have extra motivation for losing more poundage. I don't want to be mistaken for Shamu. "Look honey, I see a beached whale!" "No Dear, that's that's just some tourist from Wisconsin."
Thank you, good night!
I definitely think that being uncoordinated makes a difference in the calorie burning department! I'm gonna take a zumba class this spring. I hear it's pretty fun. Where are you thinking of going on the vacation?

ReplyDeleteI'm jumping on the Zumba wagon, too. My sister Dana takes the class through Community Ed. at Proctor High School. I can't wait. I agree that stuff like Zumba (or any workout video e.g., Tae Bo) are hard to follow until you've done it dozens of times. I'm always going the opposite direction or 5 beats behind. Enjoy the flailing!
ReplyDeleteShe is a very very brave girl! I would never do Zumba in public. Not for all the sticks of butter in the world.
