  Hello Jenna. *smile* lol cute post. wellll you see i have a little secret, i love to dance my heart out when i am home alone. In my younger days i could shake a leg. *smile* I relate to the desire to move and strength the body and mind. I like to still challenge my limits. Your body will not fail you. I promise. One day it won't bother you at all....well most of the time it won't.
   
  Enjoy yourself. Have fun! Be careful! lol ~see ya

  LOL......i can barely walk from point A to point B these days, but i do remember the spin classes and how much fun they were.  i was lured in by the "burn 700 calories in 45mn"....but it's a natural high to do the routine and know you're in shape.
  i'm so glad you're having a good time.  take 2 advils, and the day off tomorrow from your classes, and you'll be good as new come Saturday!

  Yes Jenna, but not for a long time..........in the future be careful how hard you shake it.....haha

  Enjoy it while you can.

     My oh my,the price we have to pay to construct the ultimate body for our own personal use. I used to put my body through treacherous weightlifting workouts with outstanding results. I would follow up with water aerobics to cool down. But I do know how it feels to " shake your booty" a little to hard. I often felt like I was going to colapse before I made it out of the gym doors. Even in pain you have to admit It gives a feeling of accomplishment and you will do it again. I still workout  occasionally but the water aerobics are a thing of the past. one half hour in the hot tub and I feel mighty fine. I know about Zumba training, but I have never participated in it. I kinda like the music the trick to walking away with the least amount of muscle soreness is the proper follow up "stretching exercises" that often go overlooked.
   
  Step1
  Sit up tall on the ground with one leg extended out in front of you. Fold your other leg in toward your body. Gently lean your chest down toward your outstretched leg to stretch your hamstring. Flex your foot in toward your body for a stronger stretch. Switch sides and repeat.
  Step2

  Outstretch both of your legs out to your sides while you're still on the floor. Slowly bring your chest down toward the ground to stretch your inner thighs.
  Step3

  Stand up and face a wall. Place your hands on the wall for stability. Lunge in toward the wall to stretch the calf muscle on your back leg. Keep your feet flat on the floor for a maximum stretch. Bend your knee slightly to stretch lower into your calf.
  Step4

  Place one hand on a wall for stability while in a standing position. Bend your leg up behind you. Keep your knees together and flex your foot. Hold onto your foot and pull it into your backside gently to stretch your quadricep. Switch sides and repeat.
  Step5

  Grab one arm and bring it across your chest. Pull your arm down and across your body until you feel a stretch through your shoulder. Switch sides and stretch the other shoulder.
  Step6

  Breathe deeply as you extend your arms upwards and stretch your torso. Lean back carefully to stretch your abs. Lean to each side to stretch your obliques.
   
   Jenna, "no pain no gain" . . .bullshit.  Have a nice day Jenna.

  One of my girlfriends bought the entire Zumba series.  I was with her when she got the package and the shaker thingies in the mail.  She was so excited and i had never heard of it.  She put it in right away and started wiggling around.  The dances are pretty complicated and they go so fast.  She looked rediculous.  It was too funny.  Im sure she burned lots of calories but she looked like a complete idiot doing it.  Im not one for videos though.  if u were in a gym setting and other people looked like idiots with you it would be different : )  I used to do the richard simmons videos with my mom.  I just couldnt get over how dumb i felt doing it.  But good for you!  : ) 

• Zaraida said on Oct 17, 2008....

  Jenna, I've been Zumba-ing for years, since their first videos came out.  The Latin and bellydancing music never let you get bored, and you learn a lot of dance steps while doing the exercises.  It's so much fun it doesn't even feel like exercise and the time flies by.  I especially like the section on bellydancing.  I thought the older Zumba videos were relatively easy to learn, but I haven't tried the new Zumba videos.  Hope to buy them soon.

• wombat said on Oct 17, 2008....

  I've never heard of Zumba, but it sure sounds like fun!  I need to "shake something."  I am getting too lazy to breathe....

  Pain is good when it benefits you like this, and I miss dancing.  I used to go out 3 or 4 nights a week dancing, and I stayed skinny!  Good for you, and hope you can stick with it through the soreness!

  (and sorry for the jump-in, but hello Z!)

• lionesss said on Oct 17, 2008....

     Jenna, great video and perfect timing have a good night . Now I'll be dreaming about stick people dancing all night. But I don't mind as long as there's good music to go along with it.  When I rest my head my bed is along the east wall next to the windows . . . when I wake up my bed will be along the west wall and I bet I'll still have the beat . . .

• CayenneMan said on Oct 18, 2008....

  Oh and by the way Jenna, I loved the ending .  .  .

• queenparanoia said on Oct 18, 2008....

• CayenneMan said on Oct 18, 2008....

      Jenna you really don't want to know . . . for three days in a row the same truck drives to the rear of my property turns around and leaves. I've got a problem with people dumping on my property and I plan on catching them . . . depending on how things look and feel . . .maybe I'll take a tag # . . . Maybe it's just a guy and a girl ? I would have no problems with that but if somebody's going to dump I'm ready and hopefully they won't meet God.  

    Hey Jenna as far as the ending of that video goes  . . . I kinda liked it.  :0)

• lionesss said on Oct 18, 2008....

• satyr said on Oct 19, 2008....

  Jenna, I'm afraid I'm getting too old to do a lot of shakin' any more :-(

  Glad to know that with a little Advil, you're still up to it.  (wink)
