Hi all!
Today was such a good but busy day. The best part of my day was Zumba! And getting to wear these babies.
My new Zumba shoes! I have been taking classes in my regular old running sneakers, and was feeling some knee pain. After searching high and low for Nike Huarache Dance Low’s (recommended by Fitnessista), I found a similar alternative with the Nike Dunk Low’s.
Dunks have an awesome pivot point at the bottom (is that what it is called?), which reminds me of the Huarache’s and other dance sneakers.
Note to self: Take pictures of soles of shoes before wearing them.
Zumba and I had a rough start a few years ago, and I have always felt like I was not a good enough dancer to participate. Fast-forward to now, I absolutely love it, even though I’m not the most rhythmic. I think it really depends on the instructor. And of course the music. 🙂
That’s my favorite Zumba instructor Chris SantaMaria. 🙂 Such a good workout!
For each 1 hour class I take, I drink 2 gigantic Nalgene’s of water. That is 64 ounces of water! It is an intense cardiovascular workout.
Class tonight was really great, and the new shoes made such a difference. No knee pain, and I was actually able to do some of the moves that I hadn’t been able to really execute in the other sneaks. Although I don’t have any pictures at the studio, I took a couple afterwards at Dr. Os’s wrestling match.
I really just wanted to show off my Dunks 😉
Dr. Os volunteers with the local wrestling team, so I like to go to a few matches to support him… pretend this isn’t a high school bathroom shot.
After wrestling we had our usual post-match dinner date- sushi 🙂 I forgot to take pictures though, so I will instead leave you one of how we found babycakes when we returned home.
His dog bed was left on the recliner while we were cleaning, so he hopped up and improvised. 🙂
Ever have any “usual” dates you take with your significant others? I automatically associate sushi with wrestling because of our usual date nights.
Have a great night!
xxo Stephanie
