Fit with Ruthie

OH MY GOODNESS I am LOVING teaching Zumba! Never in my life would I have thought I would be a zumba instructor! I have had some wonderful classes and really enjoy some of the new songs and choreography. Its just so fun to be in a room full of people dancing the hour away while at the same time pushing myself to work harder, jump higher, and move more concentrated to focus on specific body parts. I am more fit now than ever... because of the amazing workout zumba is. I might teach it a bit differently than most instructors. I lean toward movements that are fitness focused, I try to make some of the songs silly and fun, and I love using Christian based music in my classes. I have been working on my fuel the last week and half and its made a HUGE difference in my energy level during class. Prior to changing my diet I was experiencing drops in my blood sugar and at one point I had to get a peppermint out of my bag cause I was CRASHING in the middle of class. How we eat and fuel our bod...

When was the last time you had the energy of a 5 or 6 year old? Do you remember what being 6 felt like? I do.... .I would wake up full of energy jumping out of bed and rushing to the kitchen to try and see my dad before he rushed off to work. I remember being so active during the day that my mom would have to fuss at me to come inside for lunch or supper. I was always up a tree or on the roof. (Dont tell mom)....I remember riding my bike with my sister and going to play tennis for fun for hours. I remember 2 hour softball practices I would ride my bike too and from. (atleast 1.5 miles each way) ... I remember I hated school and couldnt wait for recess where I could go run and get all hot and sweaty.. Could you climb a tree today if you had too? Could you POP out of bed? How bout a 3 mile bike ride followed by 1 hour tennis session? Softball anyone? OR.. how bout a hour recess.. no sitting down playing patty cake... you have to recess for a whole hour...PLAY .. upside down on the monk...
