she's certified or whatever you need to be. I couldn't get into that.

I quit smoking 9-2010 and gained weight when I quit, so now I'm trying to get it off.

My husband is Hispanic, so I've had some pointers from the women in his family (all good dancers). I really am looking forward to go to classes, especially since I will have friends and family with me.

I also hula hoop--don't laugh there's a lot you can do with one, I had no idea. I use a weighted one, it's pretty cool. It's also good to do if you have back problems.

I don't like transitional exercise so Zumba and hooping work out well for me. I also do the treadmill and very light weight training with my son.
