Getting fit in 2010!

I've got a major resolution for this new year. It get fit and loose this belly fat. Argh! Over the last two Christmases I've put on needless belly fat and weight, over 13# which is way too much for me. I hate to sit and see that stomach roll of mine. So I've decided to eat healthier and workout more. I know I could go to the gym 6 days a week but I choose not to. So I go to the gym for Zumba three days a week and try to get the other workouts at home.



So here's my solution, I got the Wii EA Active personal trainer and I have the Wii Dancing with the stars so hopefully these will help me get into shape. The salesman at the mall said that is wife lost 15# doing the Wii active in the 90 challenge and he lost 6#, so I hope it works for me.





If anyone has done this challenge be share with me because I would love to hear your results. Need a little encouragement here!

New Project

I have a new custom order from my Zumba instructor to make finger flags. This project will be for 30 finger flags in various colors to use while dancing in our Zumba class. This cute little flags can be used also by children to dance around the house, at church or where ever. They are the perfect size to fit in your purse to use where ever. They are the size of a hankie, 10 X10 and have a loop for your finger so you can wave it. For those who attend church will the freedom to worship they can be used at church. After I finish the project I will be including some in my shop.

What is Zumba?

I recently had fans ask me what is Zumba? Zumba is an aerobic work out to cultural music and different dance moves such as Salsa, Hip Hop, Belly Dance, Merengue, etc. I've included a video from youtube so you can see exactly what is Zumba.

Bling Bling

Today was Bling Bling Zumba! We had as much dancing as we do dressing up! I'm always up for costumes.

Zumba Summer Fun!

We have so much fun at our Zumba class. Our instructor is always looking for ways to make it even be more fun. So on some Saturdays we have themed Zumba days.

(Beth, our instructor, and I love to go all out in costume!)


For those of you who don't know what Zumba is I will share a little. Zumba is an aerobic exercise class that is mixed with dance to make it more fun and so you don't feel like you are really exercising. It can include Salsa, Merengue, Hip Hop, Belly dance, Tropical Rhythm.


This last Saturday was Summer Fun so we thought of Hawaiian Hula!


Here is the group that showed up for our Summer Fun Day.

Zumba and the Wheel-A-Thon

Today was the Wheel-A-thon for the Children's Museum. Stillwater is in need of a Children's Museum and to raise funds they decided to have wheel-a-thon which including bikes, scooters, wagons and even Zumba. Here I am with my instructor Beth who is also a middle school teacher.





Zumba is the latest craze for getting physically fit doing dance moves which include, Salsa, Merengue , hip hop, belly dancing and even can have western line dancing. I did not like the traditional aerobic workouts but I love to dance so Zumba was the answer for me. It's so much fun its like not working out at all. Here we are at the wheel-a-thon getting our grove on!

I've included a video so you can learn more in formation about Zumba so you too can see Zumba in action. Just maybe you might want to find a Zumba class near you and get in shape or just have fun.
