Zumba!!!!

Attending a group fitness class at the city council fitness centers was one weekend activity I was expecting. I love to attend the classes because they are fun doing the exercises at the same time in a short time period you get to do a complete Set of stretches and strengthen according to the class. Today I woke up early and was eagerly waiting to attend the B.A.T and Zumba classes. BAT is a program where lower abdomen and thigh muscles are worked out with a Swiss ball. Now, this Swiss ball is really good to assist you in exercises.
BAT was little trying to me as my abdominal muscles aren't that strong. Zumba was fun but the instructor was too fast and she enjoyed dancing to herself than to teach other people. Now, Zumba is a spanish dance. The steps are just like dance steps and it's a good workout basically but I couldn't keep pace with the moves as they were really fast and changed frequently.
Did my regular lane swimming, lazed for some time in the steam room and sauna, had a shower and came home.
The gyms and pools are a real attraction to the city I would say. The city council tries hard to keep people active. The gyms get busy at 6 am in the morning and the pools too. Since they are all heated it is real good.
Let me see how much I can use these to "build" up my body
