I remember being terribly embarrassed when I participated in a fashion show, when I had never done such a thing before and was in my 50's. <br />Now at my senior center I see tiny local Japanese women doing zumba and am in awe of them. I'll stick to water aerobics, about my speed these days.

All body shapes come along, and some take a rest when it gets a bit sporty, and others are not terribly coordinated and get the steps wrong.<br /><br />If you have a pair of sports trousers and a baggy tee-shirt no one will see the wobble, and don't worry, just about everyone else is worrying about the same stuff. The ones who go a lot are in shape because of the zumba, so a bit of perseverance and the wobble will wobble off anyway. :)<br /><br />Don't deprive yourself of the fun. The music is great, the movements are sporty dancey and the teachers are enthusiastic. You can ignore the rest. If you start at the start of the year you'll also be one of several newbies who won't know what to do, but you'll soon pick it up. There are basic steps which reappear all the time too which make it easier. <br /><br />Go for it, you'll enjoy it. :)<br /><br />Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13195684182481935384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18862674.post-85475665864091924242013-06-05T08:26:59.697+02:002013-06-05T08:26:59.697+02:00Hmmm, that's an idea... :)Hmmm, that's an idea... :)Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13195684182481935384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18862674.post-16164564789222759042013-06-05T08:08:17.379+02:002013-06-05T08:08:17.379+02:00OK, what's your advice here?
