Hi Cheshire - welcome! I tried Zumba for the first time tonight, it was good, but I think I preferred Body Jam!

Maz - nice to see you here! I bought cheap ($20, target) shoes to start with so I didn't have an excuse to keep putting off going, they are not great but they will do until I can afford some good ones! My last pair were 2 years old and holey!

Leesa, thanks for the shoe tips, that is a sneaky sneaky way to do it! Last pair of decent shoes i bought were for netball back in 2002! I think they may have been from De Grandi's and they had ankle brace bits in them. My DH hates spending moiney on shoes, he will be very hard to convince.

Eluned, good job on the run! I don't think I can even make thirty seconds at the moment!!

Heather what is Attack like? I am really thinking about trying all of the ones I can for the first few weeks and then deciding on some permanent ones! Coffee would be good too

Hi to everyone I missed!

I did Zumba today, heaps of fun, not sure about it though as the class was so packed you could barely move! Not good if you don't catch on or are uncoordinated, nearly whacked some poor girl in the face a few times! Think Zumba might be more energy consuming but I really, really enjoyed Jam! Maybe I can just do both!
