Here are my three favourite things about last night's workout:
1. I had a goofy (albeit sweaty) smile on my face the whole time. It really is fun!
2. This workout reminded me of being on vacation. What?? It's true! I felt like I was at an all inclusive resort in Mexico feeling the vibe of the nightly entertainment when they get everyone involved in the dancing.
3. I was also reminded of dance parties with my university house mates, loved those and loved that this workout felt just as fun.
Bottom line? This is a really fun way to get fit and Binu is an amazing instructor with great energy.
There was a pretty big group of participants last night and it ranged for many people having their first Zumba experience to those that had done a few classes before. At the end of our class with Binu, we all agreed that her choreography was easy to follow and that none of us felt lost. The music was fantastic and we had a great variety in the steps and routines that were used. I had a lot of energy during the class and could feel my mood being elevated as I got more and more into the workout.

I had a hard time getting good pictures as we barely stopped moving for the entire 60 minutes! After we jumped, danced, shook, moved and grooved, we did end the class with some ab work and some stretching which was a nice way to wind down and finish up the workout.

Here is what some of our members had to say about the class:
"I loved her energy! It was a great class and not too hard to follow the moves." - Stacey
"I am sore today....a good sore. I love workouts like that because you get so caught up in the fun and dancing that you forget you're working so hard." - Jody
Binu's current session goes until March 31st (daytime and evening options, click here for the schedule) and you can join anytime. Classes will be prorated based on number of weeks left in the session. First class is always free! You can drop in if room is available. Drop in fee is $15. If you sign up for the session regardless of how many classes are left, the price is cheaper. Binu offers weights classes for women as well and most of her classes are run out of the Sports Training Academy in Oakville.
Hope you take advantage of the free class option and try out Zumba with Binu - you won't regret it!
