Well… It finally happened! I have been passionate about Zumba so much that it has lead me to overcome my shyness and sign up for the instructor training. I was always checking the instructor training schedule to see what was close by, but when I saw Gina Grant was teaching — I told my friend Taylor that THAT was the instructor I wanted to be taught by! I mean, she is definitely one of my faves… And she was nothing less than amazing!

Taylor and I signed up to take the full day training course and we graduated (along with the rest of the students who signed up)! Photos from a couple of months ago when we had our training day at Work Out World in Anaheim, CA:

I have since joined the Zumba Instructor Network (ZIN), created my Zumba website and I am listening to music to gather my playlist (and practicing my routines) in hopes of teaching soon… I hope I can find a job. O_O

Culver City Stairs with Jess

I had an awesome workout session with my fitspirational friend, Jess, this past Saturday! We attacked the steps in Culver City — Baldwin Hills Scenic Overlook. We did not count the steps, nor did we time ourselves. But we got a nice little outdoor workout in and since we both go to the gym, doing some fitness activity was definitely a nice change in scenery.

I felt pretty lazy, but Jess pushed me and we hiked those stairs not once, not twice, but three times! It’s good to workout with someone who is going to challenge you. I believe when we come back, she may want to go up the stairs five times!

The best part about these steps? The beautiful view at the top (even with the smoggy L.A. air)…

My legs are sore, yet I still look forward to going back!
