Zumba!
Hey, all!
I've been struggling with getting rid of my baby bump for the last 3 months, and I went to my first Zumba class last night! It was fun, even though I totally screwed up all the moves. There were enough people in the class that I didn't feel too self-conscious, and there were different ages (plenty of gray-haired ladies) and sizes of people, too. The best part is that I checked online to find out how many calories I could have burned, and apparently, 50 minutes can burn 450 calories!! That's way better than the 45 minutes of jogging/running I've been doing for 200 calories. Obviously, I haven't seen any results yet, but I felt pretty good afterward.
Just my 2 cents!

Re: Zumba!
I'm in the same boat... I've lost all the pregnancy weight, but you wouldn't know it, because I still look preggers! It's all in my belly, too. Try to find a class at a big fitness center, if possible - that way you can hide while you're trying to learn the moves
I also just ordered the BeFit-Mama DVD;it's supposed to target the underlying ab muscles that get ignored when you do crunches and the like. I'll definitely let the board know if it works!
Good luck!
Zumba is soooooooooo much fun.
Sounds great thanks! I'll be waiting for results!
