I have never been an exercise class kind of girl. I know Zu.mba, Card.io Pump, barre classes, etc have been all the rage, but I just can't get into them. I've tried a few here and there, but I much prefer a pair of sneakers and the ground beneath my feet.
This year, however, with 2 newborns in the middle of winter, I knew the open road would have to wait. And since there's only so much I can take of the Dreadmill, I asked my husband for a Zum.ba disc for our game console for Christmas. I figured everyone in the world raves about the classes, how hard can it be?
Hard. OMG, so ridiculously difficult. I am easily one of the least coordinated people you'll ever meet, but I figured that wouldn't be an issue with a game. No class to keep up with, no teacher correcting my form. Unh uh. They start with a simple back and forth step, and before you know it they've got you crossing feet and moving around, and I'm still trying to master the back and forth. I looked like one of the dancing hippos in Fanta.sia. Except even they would've done better than me.
So back in the box it goes. And back to the treadmill I go. How many days till spring?
Eh, at least you tried.
