ZUMBA!

Zumba. I had an opportunity to try Zumba in Tequesta when invited by a library patron to join a class last year.  I opted out thinking it might be too strenuous for my then 64 year young body and on the advice of my spinal surgeon that I not engage in high impact anything!

Well, many months and a few pounds later I decided to try a class which is about 1 km from our marina and I’m so happy that I did.

Zumba is an aerobic workout of dance moves set to Latin rhythms.  One can do a low impact version and still get a sweat drenching workout.

 Our instructor is a gorgeous 30 something who speaks English.  The setting is a large room right on the edge of the bay with enormous California style windows on three sides that open to let in the wonderful ocean breeze. The workout is challenging but fun as well and an hour passes very quickly.  All this for 250 pesos a month or less than $2 per class.  I can bike to the class and have a coffee or smoothie after at Freak Dog Café which is right next door. 

I love La Paz!
