I told myself for about a year that I was going to look into Zumba, however, I was somewhat intimidated to put myself in an environment where I would embarrass myself.  For the last 3 years, I worked hard to lose and keep off 32 pounds, but I began to see myself falling back into a sedentary roll.  I work at a computer all day and would come home mentally exhausted, land on the couch and that was my exercise.  No stress relief in sight, no movement.  I was still eating well, but at 53, I was battling the pounds beginning to creep in again due to lack of exercise.  Enough was enough.  I worked too hard to get fit again.   I just needed to find an exercise program I would enjoy and to help keep me young.  ZUMBA!  I GOOGLED Zumba, Sugar Land, found Zumba Fitness Class www.loumoore-fitness.com and without any more excuses sent her an email.  She replied very quickly that same day giving me all of the information I needed to come and try a session for free.   The only requirements were to wear comfortable clothes to workout in and bring water.  I did just that on the next scheduled class, it was a Monday.  Oh my goodness, I never worked harder and never had so much fun sweating my bootie off.  I  was hooked.  I’ve been doing Zumba for 4 months now.  I LOVE IT!  I’m there 3 days/week.  I not only enjoy Zumba, I enjoy the people in the class; not to mention the fun we ALL have with Cida.  Her smile and energy are nothing shy of addictive.
