Rencsi Before and After Zumba
The other day, I struggled to carry a 35-pound box of kitty litter up 3 flights of stairs to my apartment. It was hard work carrying that much extra weight up the stairs and I was exhausted. My legs were tired and I was breathing hard when it occurred to me: I used to weigh 35 pounds more than I do now, and I carried that weight around with me all day, every day!
Here are a couple of pictures of me from 2008, before I started doing Zumba. I am 5 feet 2 inches and I weighed approximately 145 pounds. (Excuse the black bar, I would like to remain somewhat anonymous.)


I started doing Zumba in the spring of 2009 and I became a certified Zumba instructor in May of 2009. I have been teaching ever since. At my peak, I was teaching 18 Zumba classes per week. I currently teach 8-10 Zumba classes per week. I take other instructors’ Zumba classes whenever possible.
Here are a couple pictures of me from 2012. I am still 5 feet 2 inches and I weigh 110 pounds!


So if you’re trying to lose weight, here’s an idea for the next time you need some motivation: Calculate the number of pounds you’d like to lose, put that amount of weight in a backpack, and carry it with you throughout your day – maybe even to Zumba. When you’re finally free of that extra weight, you’ll feel great and you’ll want to be free from that extra weight every day!

Is this the Detroit Lions’ struggling quarterback, Matthew Stafford or the very handsome actor, Vince Vaughn?

Let’s make it easier: Matt Stafford or Vince Vaughn?

Is it just me, or does anyone else think Matthew Stafford looks like Vince Vaughn’s sporty younger brother?

Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show Ripped Off George Michael’s Too Funky Video
Look familiar? It’s clear to me that the 2012 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show completely ripped off George Michael’s “Too Funky” video. Unless they came up with the whole “girl-wearing-handlebars” idea themselves? I doubt it. Did anyone else make the connection?

Good Portable CD/MP3 Player for Zumba
I teach Zumba at a variety of locations. My favorite will always be a studio with mirrors and hardwood floors, preferably one dedicated to dance or Zumba only.
Community education programs commonly offer Zumba in a variety of locations, especially schools. I have taught Zumba classes in gymnasiums, empty classrooms, and even cafeterias.
While studios usually have a good sound system equipped for CDs or MP3 players; gyms, classrooms, and cafeterias do not. Last fall, I had to find a reliable, portable stereo that would travel and work well in a variety of spaces.
I bought this red and black boombox from Amazon for approximately $50 new. So far, it has good sound and has worked well for teaching a Zumba class of 25 in a middle school gym and an elementary school cafeteria. It’s slightly larger than a breadbox and attractive. Between classes, I carry it in a box in the trunk of my car. The model is QuantumFX and the model number is J-30U. It appears to be sold under several brand names,. If you are looking for a portable CD/MP3 player for Zumba or other group fitness classes, I recommend it. I have been happy with the performance of this portable stereo.

Zumba Prostitution Scandal in Maine
Female Zumba instructors: Have you seen an increase of the number of men coming to your Zumba classes? Zumba can be sexy, but one instructor allegedly took her sexy moves too far.

Alexis Wright, a Zumba instructor in Kennebunk, Maine has pleaded not guilty to 106 counts including prostitution, invasion of privacy, and tax-related counts. She is accused of selling sex in her fitness studio and a nearby office, and of secretly videotaping some of the encounters. Here’s a link news about Zumba prostitution scandal from CBS.
Unfortunately, I had not heard of the Zumba prostitution scandal until one of my Zumba class participants mentioned it to me. How embarrassing! Knowledge is power, Zumba instructors! Let’s not give our fellow Zumba instructors a bad reputation!
