Another First Today

Today is not only my first day on Medifast. It's also my first day of Zumba. In the fall, while I was waiting for my exercise class to start, I would watch the Zumba class. Every time I saw them, I thought to myself it looks so much fun and wouldn't mind doing that class. Well, when it was time to sign up again, I decided to try Zumba along with doing 2 classes of Balls N Bands (a class that doesn't use free weights). I wanted to do classes 3 times a week to help with my weight loss journey. At the time, I didn't realize I wasn't supposed to exercise when first starting on Medifast but then I found out, if I had been exercising and do it at a low intensity, I can take the classes. I was so excited cuz I had been looking forward to Zumba. I had the class this morning from 9 to 10am. Wow! What a workout and so much fun! Though I wasn't able to do everything they did but keep in mind, I am over 300lbs after all plus I had to do it with low intensity. I am looking forward to Zumba next week. If any of you guys had been thinking about trying Zumba but didn't want to cuz of your weight, trust me! If I can do it, y'all can do it. You don't have to keep up with the instructor or even the people in the class. The instructor was so excited that I decided to give Zumba a chance and told me to do it at my own pace so I wouldn't hurt myself. That's exactly what I did. Instead of jumping around, I did steps or walked. As long as you're moving, that's all that matters. Don't give up after one class just cuz you feel you can't do it. It will take a few classes to catch up to what they're doing. That's what the instructor told me. It'll prolly take me longer than a few times to figure out some of the moves and to actually catch up. We'll see as we go along. *smiles* Have a great day!
