Zumba or Personal Training?? Which do you prefer

So, I took my first Zumba class today. Having heard so much about it, I wanted to see what all the hype was about. Well..........the jury is still out, lol! Ok, I didn't hate it. Actually, it wasn't too bad, I'm just not a girl for taking fitness classes. Remember when step aerobics first came out and it was all the craze? Well for me its a little reminiscent of that and I've always been a little skeptical of these classes.

The instructor was great and had lots of great and high energy, but I think there's something to be said about actually seeing the number of calories I'm burning and how much time is left counting down on the machine (giggle).

I think I'm a bit partial to having a personal trainer as part of an effective workout regimen for me. Without somebody there motivating and pushing me beyond my stopping point, I can be a hopeless case.

Which do you prefer? Do you like taking fitness classes, Zumba in particular. Or are you somebody that needs a little one on one attention?

Yours in health,

Joy

Weight Gain...What's your struggle?

As I've struggled with weight gain and loss, for the majority of my life, I've often wondered..."What is the main reason for my weight gain?" Is it boredom, laziness, stress, comfort, a relationship? I ask myself this question, "What about obtaining and maintaining a healthy weight is so difficult for me?" What about you? Have you ever wondered about this in your own life? Do you find yourself sometimes eating and watching t.v., wondering what happened to that family size bag of chips, lol. What about being lonely? Have you ever found yourself eating out of loneliness? I have....

So what's the solution? How do we solve this problem of connecting the dots between weight gain and some of the internal stresses we deal with on the daily basis? Let me know, I'm interested in hearing your thoughts and suggestions as to how to combat this ongoing battle...
