Zumba – Antigua’s Gym

As I mentioned in a previous blog post, I joined Antigua’s Gym for my first week in Guatemala hanging out in Antigua.  Well, it turns out that I ended up spending 3 weeks in Antigua and I was at the gym most days.

Did a lot of 12 Minute Athlete workouts and started to get in to a stretching routine.  But my favourite form of exercise was Zumba with Mario.  He’s such a cool guy!  Loads of fun, always joking around and can really move!  I never missed a class 😉   This is the group from my last Monday morning class.  Thanks Patricia for the photo!  Yes, I’m exercising in hiking boots … you gotta do what you gotta do!

And to remind myself of what a great time I had, here’s two of my favourite routines that we did in each class (no, it’s not actually us).  Going to miss it!

    Dressing for Iran
