Work It

This week has left my body ready for a bit of a break, after teaching four R.I.P.P.E.D. classes so far I will wrap it up with one more tomorrow, and there was a Intro to Zumba class, too!  I am so happy to be busy teaching, and excited that more opportunities to teach are coming my way.  I'll be subbing 2 more R.I.P.P.E.D. classes a week starting in lat July and have been volunteering to sub for Zumba classes, the first of which will be July 6th!  I am also excited to be joining an excellent group of instructors for a Zumba party at the end of next month, too! 
A popular Zumba teacher at the gym has been so encouraging to me, and has asked me to dance with her at the party.  A Zumba party is basically a class, but longer and at a neat venue and there's usually prizes and other fun things.  Participating in the party has forced me to buy some Zumba pants so I'll match the other teachers  :)  I never thought I'd buy a pair since they are brightly colored baggy cargo pants (not quite my style), but I love them now!!  And I am so happy they picked colors I like, hehe!

Since this blog has turned into a lot of group exercise talk, I think I'll try and stay on the subject.  It's important to me and just a joy.  One of my favorite classes is the Thursday nights I teach at the church.  After doing a Zumba demo at a women's church event I have had a great increase in numbers.  The increase in girls coming has made it soooo fun!  And it's dear to my heart because that's where I started teaching and it's my way of giving back the love and support I received.  Plus, it's just plain fun.  I feel blessed every day knowing that I get to teach.
