Get into the Xbox with your kids

I recently purchased the Zumba game for the XBox Kinect ( Because i am now living in a small town that doesnt have Zumba classes) Because i have been struggling with the christmas bulge and what a struggle to get back into it. It is an awesome work out and i already new some of the dances from classes i used to attend, but trying to get back into it was harder then i thought FOR SURE!.

Pro's of having Zumba Kinect:
  1. It doesnt matter what im wearing
  2. Theres no big mirrors to show me how un-co and huge i look
  3. There are no people around to see all my jiggly bits jiggling
  4. When im puffing so hard and my nostrils are flaring, i dont have to try and hide them
  5. It works out cheaper then $40 a week for four classes
  6. I can do it at home while my 2 yr old is sleeping
  7. The avatar is just as encouraging as a Zumba coach
  8. I can play it as much and whenever i want
  9. It works at my own pace and  keeps track of the intensity my body can take
  10. You can gain points! so if your competitive like me you'll love it
  11. It can help with your memory because you have to rember dance steps
  12. And it helps with co-ordination

Con's of having Zumba Kinect:
  1. You have to have kinect to play it
  2. There is no airconditioner in the game room
  3. I dont have floor boards, so carpet and sneakers are a bit of a risk
  4. I miss being social in a class
  5. Its hard to find motivation some days
  6. Your kids might laugh at you
  7. The Kinect is a bit slow with loading so you can find yourself standing for a while at first
So i found more Pro's then Cons and i was thinking very hard beleive me and i hope this might be a little helpful to someone otu there.But its a personal preference. If dancing isnt your thing i say try it anyway. Its always a good way to start learning and you could always find a passion or a hobbie in it. I have always enjoyed dancing since i was young but i was only able to work on it through school as my parents couldnt afford to send me to classes. Then when i was old enough to afford it for myself i had children instead and ended up with alot of weight issues. So ever since i started taking Zumba classes i feel like im slowly finding my rhythm again. But im not saying i look great doing it but im at an age were i dont really care as long as i have fun. And in the long run its only going to make me a better healthier mother and person.
