Instructor's Weight Loss Competition - 6 Week Mark

If you've been following, then you know that a couple of us instructor's are in a weight loss competition against each other.  Our first weight in was January 13th.  Last Monday, February 17th, we weighed in a little early.  This past Monday marked 6 weeks into the competition & 6 weeks and a couple days (April 11th FINAL weigh-in).

Here's the results of our weigh-in by percentage (total weight lost divided by starting weight multiplied by 100).

Liu 3.28%

Beti 2.97%

Betsy 2.46%

Sinai 2.16%

Weight loss by each person was between 4-8 lbs each.  It's still anyone's game.  

Stay tuned!

Zumba Conference 2014 - January 31

It's Friday morning and our second day in Los Angeles.  A few of us woke up early (6 am) and walked to the nearby grocery store to pick up a few things...and look for coupons.  Not only did we find what we went there for, but we picked up a few coupons to use back home.  

Back at the hotel, we all got dressed & ready for the day.  We had breakfast down at the lobby which was nice.  After breakfast, we decided to go for a morning stroll at a nearby park.  The agenda for the day was as follows:

9:00 am - 10:30 am - Kickoff Session

11:30 am - 1:30 pm - Class

3:30 pm - 5:30 pm - Class

8:30 pm - 10:30 pm - Fitness Concert

Around 11 or so, we all took the hotel shuttle to the Convention Center.  We all divided up and went to the classes we registered for.  A few went to the Dancehall Mash-up class & the others to A Tribute To Michael Jackson class.  An hour of each class was like a normal Zumba class with the exception of it focusing mainly on the music genre it was for.  So, for example, the entire hour of dancehall was nothing but dancehall music.  The other hour or so of it was a breakdown of choreography plus learning a little bit more about that specific genre.

After the first session, we had a two hour lunch break.  We all met up and ate our prepared lunches we packed.

The second set of classes consisted of Fierce Funk & Burlesque.  Majority of our group was signed up for Firece Funk & a couple in Burlesque.  Well, the ones in burlesque left and joined everyone in Fierce Funk.  Firece Funk wasn't what we expected.  We didn't like it as much as we did the other classes.

After class, we took the shuttle back to the hotel.  Dana, Maki & Liu walked to a nearby Honduran restaurant and picked up dinner for all of us.  We met back down at the lobby and ate dinner before we headed back to the Convention center for the Fitness Concert.  Unlike the year before, we didn't stand in a crazy line waiting.  We got to the Convention center and the concert had already started which was perfect for us.

What is the Fitness Concert like?  It's like a master class - big scale.  You have the who's who in Zumba performing/dancing & the crowd following along.  It was a lot of fun.  By the end of the night we were tired.
