I got a good nights' sleep and awoke to arrive in Manalapan, NJ Elite Fitness at about 8:30am. Everyone was so excited and, well, fit. I was heaviest person there. I really doubted I could do it. At registration I received a bag of goodies, signed in, and boom into a gym full of enthusiastic Zumba trainees. My trainer was Tanya Beardsley a fit, 28 year old educational specialist for Zumba. She also trains ballroom dancers...but she is oh so down to earth. She doesn't mind her photo being taken in fact at the end of the class she said " I don't mind, in 10 years no one will want to take my photo." So until I figure out how to post photos on this blog check out the website and my pics on Facebook, sad I haven't figured this all out yet.
The training started out with a Master Class which is a hardcore high intensity class with Tanya...I was dying, I don't know about anyone else. Everyone else was hooting and hollering about how great they felt. Well I was sore and carrying extra weight doesn't help but it is possible. After the Master Class we sat for a while to learn about the formula of Zumba- a dance fitness program which incorporates mostly international music and a percentage of what You like...by the way Tanya could be a homegirl from "around the way" she ended with Today Was A Good Day by Ice Cube. Honestly I was beat so beat that at the end of the day I told a woman I was too tired to eat...hah. Then Willis was late picking me up and I ended up in a neighborhood Jersey bar almost close to ordering their special for Saturday a Miller Light...crazy. Good thing Willis came just in time...that is how tired I am I mean was.
