Zumba fit, or fit to drop?
No photos this week! Well, you try taking part in a 3 hour Zumbathon and taking photos at the same time. It was in aid of our hospice so I’m sure the local rag will have it adequately covered.
Seriously, I thoroughly enjoyed taking part. On a warm summer’s evening, we gathered on the rugby pitch. It was a real “sisterhood” moment. As the sun set, however, we were joined in our final moves by the lads from the rugby club, “fresh” from their practise session. Now that would’ve made a fine photo!
And there’s more to come. My zumba teacher, Jaki, has secured a float for the Headland carnival this year. So guess what I’ll be doing this afternoon? Well, I haven’t taken part in a Carnival since February. I’m long overdue!
Thanks for reading, folks, and don’t forget to visit Cath’s Show My Face to see what everyone’s been up to this week. Submit your own and I’ll come visit you!

The thought of zumba for one hour is tiring enough! Well done for three hours’ worth of it.

Thanks Elaine! The swift jogging version of zumba behind the carnival float was worse!

Thanks Josie. I wasn’t sure what to expect as the zumbathon was with different teachers than my normal one, but the atmosphere was so nice.

Hi Jo ~~ Thank you for this, thank you for doing the Zumbathon for those who need.
We have them here but I am not able to do that. I couldn’t even bowl last night (perhaps I could but I don’t know what my new knee would do about doing the foot slide part).
Thank you for peeking in on Jim’s Six Words,

Maybe I should try Zumba as well. 🙂 Does it help in losing weight?
LikeLike
I’ve not got a weight problem but I should think it would. It’s great fun is the main thing, and suits all ages.

Zumba’s not for me. I tried it twice and I got hurt both times (neck and ankle). nothing serious, though, but enough to make me swear never to do it again 🙂 (and, besides, I lack coordination so I could never follow the instructor)
LikeLike
Ana, nobody’s less coordinated than me. I’m tall and skinny so it’s hard to hide too. I just love the music and we never go dancing anymore so it’s compensation. Shame about the injuries.

Sounds exhausting, but lots of fun, too 🙂

Sorry Francine. There’s a short video on our local papers website but it’s not so inspiring. I just did it as it’s a great cause.
