My ZUMBA class consists of Latin, hip-hop, pop, 80s jams, country, belly-dancing, West African, broadway -- well just about any kind of dance. I choreograph the majority of the routines to include ranges of skill level and intensity. There is something for EVERYONE in my class.

The class has been structured following the principals of interval training. Interval training consists of repeating sessions of relatively high intensity exercise mixed with periods of lower intensity and some toning. It's GREAT for the beginner or for the advanced exerciser.

ZUMBA is fun, easy and you'll be sweating before you know it!

Please wear comfortable active clothing that is not restrictive and allows appropriate cooling for thermoregulation of the body.

Also, wear comfortable shoes, with plenty of cushion and lateral support. Typically, an aerobics shoe or cross-trainer is appropriate.

AND WATER!!! We'll be taking 30 second water breaks after every 4 songs. Trust me, you'll need the water. Staying hydrated during class is very helpful.

this week in ZUMBA

Today is day 15 of the 21-day Crazy Sexy Diet and I've lost 2 pounds.

Other than my small weight loss and some inches lost, not much has changed from last week's report. But, I can't believe how easy it's been to stay away from coffee and sweet treats.

Seven more days to go and let's see if I can keep it up after that!

KALE CHIPS
Over the weekend I made some kale chips.

I followed this basic recipe as a guide. There are so many variations out there. This is my take on it.

Ingredients
1/2 a bag of Trader Joe's cleaned and ready to cook kale
1 tablespoon of Trader Joe's garlic olive oil
1 teaspoon of seasoning mix = smoked paprika, Greek vegetable seasoning and Kosher salt

Directions
Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F. Line a cookie sheet with foil or parchment paper.

Drizzle kale with olive oil and sprinkle with seasoning mix. I like to do a portion at a time and mix in a bowl with my hands.

Place the kale mix in one even layer onto the cookie sheet. If there is too much kale the bottom layer will not get crisp.

Bake until the edges brown but are not burnt, 10 to 15 minutes.

ENJOY!
