Conquering a fear of dance based exercise

Ruby’s day 35? of REDJan

As I ran out of time to do Pumpfit in January I decided I should still give it a go. I watched Facebook videos first and almost scared myself out of going. The class didn’t look unmanageable, but the ability required to move to the beat put me off. 

As it happens I managed to keep up. Ok, mostly keep up. There were a few instances where I went left instead of right, and my arms went up instead of down, but mostly I think I got the hang of it. I went with a friend so if I did go the wrong way I knew the person who I was going to crash into (thanks Vanessa for coming!). 

The best bit about the class was it was FUN. I smiled the whole way through, even the hard bits (plank, glute bridges, abbs). As Pumpfit is danced based I would recommend it to any looking to improve their cardio fitness levels. 

Although I’m not keen on dance based exercise, due to a fear of doing it wrong, I would definitely go again . I still don’t think I’m suddenly going to take up Zumba but I will admit I enjoyed Pumpfit.
