I can not keep up with the speed in class. I do 15 miles on my exercise bike 3-4 times a week and 1-2 mile walk with Leslie Sansone on youtube a couple of times a week. A couple of times a week I walk to the shops and back which takes about 1 hour. There is a massive park in front of us but walking on your own is no fun. However, when my mum comes to stay we walk at least an hour a day.

You don't need any rhythm for spinning, combat or body pump - you should give them a go. Zumba does require a little bit of rhythm but in my class no one really cares if you get all the steps wrong - its just a lot of fun, and great music!

Body pump is an hour class with weights, but one of my main aims is to get rid of my flabby arms, so i'm making myself go. Plus the instructor is very easy on the eye, which helps!! Good luck with whatever you try!
