Today I went back to Zumba for the first time since the car accident. This class is just as amazing as I remember. The teacher is awesome, and the room is packed with people from all walks of life. It's one of the most diverse spots in Denver. LOVE that. From the very heavy gray-haired lady in front of me rocking it out, to the African-American bombshell with the huge smile on her face, the cute blond pregnant woman, and the teacher's Latina wife working some serious merengue in the front row, everyone was having so much fun!
The lady I always stand next to was there again today. We got to talking and her name is Doris. She's a former teacher, aged 67 (she looks like she's in her 50s), beautiful, African American, about to head off to Spain on a Rick Steves tour, and really into fitness. She told me, "The thing is, when you're getting older, you have to keep moving. It's all about moving." Apparently everyone in her family has died young but she's determined to beat the odds by keeping as healthy and active as she can.
WOW! Talk about inspiring.
