Re: this girl can
Im not twiggy myself .. I joined a zumba class a few years ago and although I wasnt the biggest I was the oldest..Its daunting to walk in somewhere feeling totally the odd one out and every gym ad is packed with graceful twiglets looking as if a marathon is a walk in the park.. Not exactly encouraging to the shy plump jiggely one sitting at home is it?

Re: this girl can
I've reached a stage where my fatness doesn't put me off going swimming. Okay I might look like a beached whale, but no one is paying my membership and there are all shapes and sizes there.An exercise class is different because my face looks as though it's about to spontaneously combust. I'm more conscious of that than anyone seeing my jiggly bits
I haven't tried Zumba, but I'm thinking about it. I love music and dancing, so it sounds good.

Re: this girl can
Myra if you are going to try zumba try to find a zumba gold class ..Modified for older adults so less high impact.There isnt one round here nor an over 50's gym class so I just went along to a normal zumba class..
I didnt recognise any of the music but I didnt let that phase me. However, 2 years of the high impact moves left my knee showing dangerous signs of wear.. The doctor who looked at it said I should stop zumba or I would need a knee replacement within 5 years..
Im now reduced to a bit of cycling and walking the dogs.. I do dance but just for fun in the living room when no one is home!

Re: this girl can
Tachyon and Cass, the only over 50 classes in my HUGE town, is during the day. There are none in the evening. I'm on annual leave today (taking a break between helping my son pack boxes for his move), but it would have to be an evening class for me. I'd be all for joining an over 50 class.
