I thought I would share some of our Zumba videos with everyone. After all, Gina Ann says that I am now officially a Zumba addict. I sure look pretty official with all my Zumba gear. \ud83d\ude09 Let me show you my addiction…<\/p>\n

Here are some videos from the Zumbathon at Genesis West Central last Sunday. This one was taken during Jill’s segment. Her Zumba style is low impact and the choreography is a lot simpler than Amie’s or Gina’s. Liz and Amie are looking particularly sexy in this video. Way to go, ladies!<\/p>\n

Here’s another one from Jill’s portion of the Zumbathon.<\/p>\n

This is one of Amie’s slower songs. It’s kind of fun, though. I like that she does funky endings at the end of her routines. This is one of my favorites.<\/p>\n

This one is a fast one. I might need new workout shoes because all the trots in Que Te Pica make my feet hurt. =P<\/p>\n

This is the one with the V hops. You’ll hear her calling it out in the video.<\/p>\n

This is the extra fast Hella Decale. LOL. That was not intentional. I guess Gina didn’t realize that Amie speeds up her songs. So we ended up doing Hella Decale at a faster pace than normal. Anyway, you can see from these examples that you can Zumba at different levels or intensities. Amie’s and Gina’s classes are pretty intense. <\/p>\n

I remember the very first time I did Amie’s class (granted I was “puke drunk<\/a>” the night before; amazing that I wasn’t too hung over to do class), I was worn out after the very first song. I was like, “This is the warm up?” By the third song, I thought I was going to die. You get used to it after a while, though. I actually prefer Amie’s and Gina’s classes these days. Other classes don’t feel like much of a workout by comparison. Anyway, Amie is off for a bit while she recovers from surgery. I just want to let her know that we miss her and wish her a speedy recovery and we eagerly await her return. =)<\/p>\n

By the way, if you are intimidated by all of the choreography, fear not. Gina Ann is doing a Basics of Zumba Class<\/a> at Genesis East Central on Tuesday, April 5, at 6:45 PM. She’ll teach the basics of salsa, merengue, cumbia and reggaeton in a laid back, slower pace. She’ll also show high and low impact versions of moves so you can choose the intensity that suits you best. I think it’s going to be a great class.<\/p>\n

Don’t worry if you’re not a Genesis Health Clubs member. They’re doing a special right now where you can pay $20 for an entire month of Zumba<\/a>. I think it’s a really good deal because drop in classes are usually $6 a pop. Even if you only go once a week during that month, you’re still saving $4. The best part is that you can Zumba 6 times a week if you want. There’s a Zumba class at one of the Genesis locations every single day of the week (except for Fridays). So if you decide to make all of the Zumba classes, at $6 each class, you’re saving about 85% of what you’d normally pay for drop in classes elsewhere. This deal is too good to pass up!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Enjoy the fabulous weather we’re having and hope to see you at Zumba!<\/p>\n
