The quote, "Do one thing every day that scares you" was first presented to me in the popular 1998 song, "Everyone's Free (To Wear Sunscreen)" by Baz Luhrmann. While true origin of the quote is debatable, I've found that this saying has stuck with me as a personal motto (most days) and I frequently pass it on as advice to other people. This blog is my attempt to capture and chronicle "the one thing every day that scares me" in 2011.

Day 123 - Zumba Tone
I'm not a stranger to Zumba, but I am no expert at it either. Despite lack of rhythm and probably looking like something is wrong with me, I enjoy a "normal" Zumba dance/fitness class and the variance it provides from the ho-hum regular group exercise class. Today however, I took on the challenge of a Zumba Toning class which incorporates weights and toning, with Latin dance. All I can say, is thank goodness I can laugh at myself and lack of coordination! To add insult to injury, because I was one of the last people to show up, I got a nice front row position where everyone could see my off balance gyrations and wrong direction turns (won't even mention the sloppy footwork). None the less, an hour later I burned some calories, felt better, and even talked to some fellow Zumba peeps. Fear of breaking something (namely a hip) and Zumba Tone conquered!

Z is for zumba.. I was tempted on the day but decided that other than seeing signs for it every where I didn't have enough background knowledge !! Dance and weights sounds like a health and safety risk assessment nightmare :)
