Having Fun with Zumba!

Posted in Health, Diet & Fitness | 0 comments

You know, after trying to lose weight for eons already, I have already realized that the best fat burners is simply good old healthy diet and exercise. Life could really hold one back though. Sometimes things get too busy and I always find the excuse I am too busy to exercise. Which led me to a solution that I should make exercise fun and something to look forward to.

And so I bought a Nintendo Wii which had been great and enjoyable but now I’m looking for something more intensive. I tried out Hip Hop Abs and its wonderful. I guess I found dancing to be a really good workout. Now I’m trying out Zumba for a little bit more flavor. And I’m absolutely crazy about it. Not only do I get a good body workout, I’m also learning how to dance, which means I won’t be bumbling like a baboon the next time I attend a dance party.

I love the energetic, sexy beat of Latin music and this is the core of Zumba.  Right now I’m doing the basics and the 20 minute workout on DVD and I think I’m moving on to something more intensive in a month. Also, I’m really tempted to order the Wii game version of this. Lol!

Here’s a video of the basic steps. It’s so upbeat and broken down into easy steps to follow so even if you have two left feet, I’m sure you’d be grooving in no time..

My level of clueless-ness in applying makeup is the same as my absolute ignorance when it comes to styling my hair. But that doesn’t mean I can’t be tutored. When there’s an upcoming event and there’s a look I want to create, I do a mad dash of tutorial viewing. Youtube has lots of wonderful, easy to follow hair dressing tutorials.

Here’s a few tutorials of easy hair-up-do’s that would be perfect for your Valentine date.

One is ‘messy’ two-in-one braided style by Carly Cristman. I love braided styles, and this would be perfect for the younger set.
