There is something cute and yet inspiring when you see older people in exercise classes like Zumba. They can't quite get the moves right and they look really awkward gyrating their hips, but they try just as hard as the person next to them to keep up with the instructor. It made me think about what my mother would look like participating in a Zumba class. She thinks she is the sexiest woman in the world and would try to show me up with her dance moves.She would probably have a lot of fun, but I know she would never go. Come to think of it, I have never seen my mother exercise. Ever! I have never seen her do anything that would cause her to break a sweat. To this day, after diabetes, one heart attack, and a triple bypass, my mother still doesn't see the importance of being active.
I haven't told my mother about my blog because I am hoping that when I go to see her Christmas, that she will see my hard work and become motivated to do better. Luckily for me, she is in the dark ages when it comes to social media, so I doubt she will find out before then. I know that she has had the same habits for the past 57 years, but sometimes you can teach an old dog new tricks. (Please don't tell her I called her a old dog lol) Plus, these tricks will probably save her life!
