Pole Dancing

I think I mentioned a couple of times I am looking and trying some other types of exercise to find something I like, (and if I didn't, i did now :)  ) Today I went to a pole dancing class.  I took all my shyness and courage (yes, I can be shy sometimes) and went there. So, if you don't know what I am talking about (according to the wikipedia) Pole dancing is a combination of dancing and gymnastics.  Advanced pole dancing requires significant strength, flexibility and endurance So they tell you to wear shorts (a Short one preferably) and your favorite high heels.

Zumba time!

Speaking about Fitness, Weight loss, etc...I went to try a Zumba class,  and I must say: So much fun! For those who doesn't know:  he Zumba® program fuses hypnotic Latin rhythms and easy-to-follow moves to create a one-of-a-kind fitness program that will blow you away. Our goal is simple: We want you to want to work out, to love working out, to get hooked. Zumba® Fanatics achieve long-term benefits while experiencing an absolute blast in one exciting hour of calorie-burning, body-energizing, awe-inspiring movements meant to engage and captivate for life! Apparently there is a Zumba fever around Sydney, and I would say around Australia, so you wouldn't have any problems finding a Zumba class around you. In my case, I could understand the lyrics, given I speak Portuguese and Spanish! So I would definitely go to another class, and who knows...maybe will become an weekly event. I hope so. I let you know my progress... Love, Vic
