Now that I have 2 1/2 years of Zumba practice under my belt, I have found an interesting correlation between my Friday night activities and the 9 am Saturday morning class. I am now able to rate my Friday night soirees by the number of songs in Zumba class I’m required to spend in the bathroom the next morning.
As you may know, Like Zumba or other forms of exercise, partying and drinking requires a certain amount of practice, stamina and endurance. As you also may know, these two activities are not always best done back to back. Well, more exactly, it’s easier if you Zumba first and then party after, rather than the other way around.
I’m proud to say I normally have a “zero” bathroom break class. I may often go right when I’m supposed to go left and back when I’m supposed to go forward, but since that’s my normal lot in life, I can’t really blame it on Friday’s “Festivus for the Rest of Us”. I have noticed though, that upon having a little too much fun on Friday night, especially when I don’t wake up till 8 am, and getting to class on time is quite a chore (including two trips from the car back into the house to fetch one of more of “spectacles, testicles, wallet or watch”) that my body requires a full song bathroom break to get through class.
Until today, my record was two songs, and I’m both proud and dismayed to admit today was a three song day.
I’m not sure if my drinking is slipping and I need more practice, or my Zumba endurance is lacking, and I need more exercise. Probably both. As one of my favorite yoga instructors says; “Detox to retox”. On the other hand, as a hangover remedy goes, Zumba is certainly as good as hydrating or alcohol. I would not recommend combining the Zumba with the “hair of the dog” as drinking before of while Zumba-ing is definitely not recommended. Funny, but not recommended.
I have on a couple of occasions taken the Yoga Studio Owner’s 9:30 am Saturday class, instead of Zumba, and I’m convinced that rather than a hangover remedy, this is why California just became the third state to pass a bill allowing for medically assisted suicide.
