True Story

"There are shortcuts to happiness and dancing is one of them" Vicki Baum

Standing is not difficult to do ...

.... or it isn't on most occasions. However, sometimes it can prove to be more challenging. 

One such situation where the average adult human's ability to remaining standing is considerably reduced, is the rush-hour commuter train. Being on one of these is a truly hideous experience in the best of circumstances, but when you are stuck in the middle of the scrum with nothing to hold onto it can be traumatic! Yet there is help at hand. ZUMBA! 

Working those abs to the sounds of Shakira and Cheryl, as well as some other more unmentionable tunes, gives you a core of, if not steel, at least well-set slate allowing you to remain upright and wear a slightly smug expression whilst you give witheringly disdainful stares to those around you who begin to sway like they've had one too many. 

Thus although, Sunday's Zumba may have been yet another class where my pitiful shaking and shimmying ability was shamefully apparent, (when 14 years olds can out-shake you, you know there is a problem - right @DelphiRose/ @LolaLoa_B?!?!?) it's benefits could not be denied today AND in the run up to Christmas who can deny the bonus of burning a few extra calories a week. 

*P.S Although it will undoubtedly be easier to balance on a train directly after a Zumba class, it cannot be recommended as I your aroma is unlikely to make you passenger of the week*
