4 days until we leave for Miami.... I cant believe in just 5 days, Ill be a licensed Zumba Fitness instructor! Im SOOOO freakin excited! I got the Zumba Gold and Beginner 1 Manuals via email last night. Reading Gold first. Theres an interesting quote in there, one thats near and dear to my heart. One of the things Ive been saying since I started losing weight is and getting healthy is... I know Im getting older and I cant stop the aging process, but I CAN do everything in my power to slow down that process with exercise and healthy eating... so reading the manual, I come upon this quote, Greek philosopher, Epictetus (about A.D. 55 to about 135) said that an individual needs to make the best use of what is in your power, take the rest as it comes. Just when I think Ive made some huge step toward enlightenment, I realize that the philosophers of the past figured out all this stuff centuries ago.... (I should probably just read some philosophy books!)... but what it really speaks to is that the truth is always the truth. Being at the end of the Baby Boomer generation, my generation is living this early Greek philosophy... we are active, vital, and are the embodiment of the concept of the ageless self. I may be 50, but I feel more alive than Ive ever felt in my life. While I know Im getting older and my back and those wrinkles and the increasing number of grays on my head remind me that Im not 18 anymore, Im not going to sit down and grow old gracefully. Im going to fight it until I cant fight anymore. Zumba has been a huge part of this realization for me... that I can be more youthful despite my aging body. Thank you Beto Perez for Zumba Fitness. Who said exercise cant be FUN and something you look forward to daily? (Whoever it was, didnt have Zumba!) :-) PS: Zumba Gold is for EVERYONE... so if you have never tried Zumba, take a Gold class and regain some of your youth today!
