The Merengue Soul











Remember that song? Heyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy Heyyyyyyy aaayyyyyy aaayyyyyyy I said HEYyyyyy! What’s gowiiinnnn on!  That lady with the Janis Joplin voice. That’s the song that came to my head right now just right before writing this post.

What’s going on is …is that it’s clear how much I enjoy teaching Zumba Fitness Classes and Aqua Zumba Fitness Classes.   I swear for that entire hour I’m teaching…I don’t think of any problems or things going on in my life that stress me out for that entire hour. It’s really a great feeling. I’m smiling, I’m laughing…i’m whooooing..and feeling..ofcsouse    sexxxxxaaaayyyyyyy! and the ladies feel sexy too and I can see it the look in their eyes when they roll their hips in the water!  It gives me a work satisfaction unlike no other job I’ve had.   Soooooooo… that’s why I’m trying to get more jobs teaching now.

Now I’m officially teaching 3 times a week and soon to be 4 starting january. There will be 2 Zumba classes and 2 Aqua zumba classes a week. I can sure teach more Aqua zumba classes during the week because it’s easier on the body. The members at Premier Fitness in Mississauga…u know the burnhamthorpe and erin dale station location…yeah that one…they’re really embrasing it. Last week there were 14 people.   According to a successful Aqua fit program that used to be taught there but is no longer..there were 20 members every class…but for whatever reason the instructor no longer teaches there.   Maybe he got bored or something… but

CON ZUMBA!  There is just no room for boredom.  The Zumba Fitness Programs are fresh..as long as the ZIN’s…instructors who are members of the zumba instructor network are embrasing the new choreography and music…it will be kept forever fresh ..and here’s the plus …YEAH WITH LICENCED MUSIC!  Instructors who are embrasing too much of the Top 40 hits or oldies and incorporating them in their classes forget that SOCAN is gonna come out to get us soon unless we stick to ZIN music only. You pay 30 a month for the licence to use the music along with many other benefits. Need I list them again..okay I’ll list a few:

  • the right to use licenced Zumba Fitness Music
  • The right to advertise your class on a flyer
  • The right to call your class ‘Zumba’
  • The right to clothing discounts
  • The right to advertise Zumba on your website
  • The right to use the trademark ‘ Zumba’ in your website name like www.zumbaworkoutscanada.com
  • The right to teach classes indefinately without having to recertify after one year is up. yes that’s right..if you’re not a zin member you can only teach zumba classes at your place of employment or business for 1 YEAR then you gotta stop. Take a B1 course again..and join the Zin network baby and embrace the freshness and sexiness of the Zumba Fitness Program.
  • The right to stay confident and true to the zumba formula so your class doesn’t evolve in to a foomba or fumba variation. need i not translate:P

Can you tell I’m a happy ZIN member? hell yeah baby!

So! My next step in my CON ZUMBA career is to get more Zumba related jobs and work in more fitness centres. Lose 30 more pounds and look super hot for next Summer.  And if I play my cards right…Meet my girl Tanya Beardsley again and dance and punch the sky with her again in New York Citayyy  or at the Zumba Convention 2011.   Take a nice photo with the Zumba God Beto Perez and Identify what colone he wears and tell my main squeeze to wear it till he dies. lol!  Hmmm..what else….  Who knows be in a taping with my new hotter body for a ZIN taping…maybe be on tv…host a Zumba Fitness Class in da Cluuuuuubbb.  This is gonna be a great next 12 months and that ma new year resolution

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm beeeetttoooooooooooooooo!

Peace out!

Let’s get back on the subject of losing weight. If you were like me I used to weigh 190 lbs and stayed that way for 4 years after I had my first child. I tried diets such as the cabbage diet, and another diet I saw on Oprah that was still packed with carbs – no wonder the cravings never went away.

It wasn’t till I met a girl at my work, who tried a lifestyle diet called Atkins. I’ve been using it’s principle with a little bit of my own for about 2 years now and have been able to maintain a weight of 155-160. It’s not my goal weight because I didn’t take it far enough and kinda lacked a little bit of motivation – I figured it was my little plateau. My goal weight is actually and ideally 130lbs. I’m only 5’1 inches tall so that would be a good size for me. I’m actually using my reason of becoming a Zumba workout class instructor my motivation for that. Hey, I have the energy and the moves but I’d prefer to look the part too;)

I would like to help yawl along in to losing weight like I did so you can increase the quality of your lives. I cooked up a little somethinsomethin‘ for lunch as a low carb alternative so you can have an idea on how to eat in a better way so you can lose weight easier as you work out. Oh yeah, and exercise is non-negotiable, it will not only speed up your weight loss, but it’s really great for your body in reducing major health risks, and you’ll be happier and feel less stressed out. Make sure you get an ipod – I mean …who doesn’t love music??? Get some great tunes on your ipod to keep you motivated as you’re working out.

Here are step by step photos of a dish I cooked called: Chicken a la veggie


So don’t be afraid of taking on a lower carb eating lifestyle change – It’s healthy. You’ll eat more vegetables, nutrient rich fruits , and healthy proteins. Try to aim for lower fat, lower carb and you’ll be on the way so a sexier, hotter, and more confident you;) Watch out world because here you come!
