Shaking for the Ta-tas
Hi guys! How are you?? Hope you’ve had a great day so far <3
I spent the morning shaking my booty at my Zumbathon for the Susan G. Komen Foundation.
It was SUCH a blasty and we raised over $300 for breast cancer 🙂
My friend Jessica, who is an AMAZING instructor, co-taught with me. There’s no way I could teach for two hours straight on my own, so I was so glad to have her help and incredible energy <3
(PS check out her biceps- redonk, right??)
Before leaving the casa, I munched a banana with almond butter—didn’t want to have a full belly. About an hour into class, I had a Clif mocha energy gel, which was probably the best-tasting gel I’ve ever had. It was lovely 🙂
Now, I’m diving face first into a huge bowl of breakfast cookie dough cereal
and am about to shower my stinky self and scrounge for more food 😉
The Pilot came to the Zumbathon and took pics, along with some video, which we’ll post on Monday <3 THANK YOU so much to the bloggies and friends who came out to dance with us- it was for a truly excellent cause.
Have a beautiful Saturday!
xoxo,
Gina

this is the BEST quote!! I love it. still struggling with my return to running, so this resonates with my today.
congrats on a successful and fun zumba morning!! 🙂
Congrats on raising $300! Your breakfast cookie dough looks amazing. Looking forward to zumba videos! 😀
LOVE the tank tops! And I wish I had put a breakfast cookie in the fridge last night… yours always look amazing and make me hungry 🙂
That looks like so much fun. I’m amazed at how popular Zumba has become. What a comeback! I remember getting the DVDs years ago, probably around the time I had my son, who is almost 8 years old now. Something tells me I need to dig those workouts out again. I need to look into finding a class around here. Maybe I could aim to teach one someday. Gotta have goals, right?
Cool! Looking forward to vid coverage! They should party lights too so it’s like a full-on- party!
ps – nice calf there with your open bevel! lol
hahah! it’s POPPING out, it has a mind of its own really 😉
Congrats Gina! That’s great that you managed to raise so much money for such a good cause. PS. Love your Zumba pants! 🙂
Haha. I see Kristal getting down. She’s hilarious!
Congrats on raising money!

Ahhh that looks awesome! Congrats to you guys!
G!!!!!!! Way to go, sister!! 😀
As a breast cancer survivor, I thank you SO MUCH for giving your time and energy (and ah-mazing creative-ness!) for such a great cause! It is my prayer that because of generous people like you, that we can find a cure for breast cancer so it is a disease my daughter will never have to fear.((hugs))
xoxo <3

Gorgeous girls inside and out! Thanks for supporting the ta-tas (hee hee hee… get it?) Dork = me.
What a great thing to do! Not only do you get your workout in, but you also raise $$$ for Breast Cancer! Amazing… 🙂
Great job for shaking it for 2 hours for such a good cause!
Great fun! I’ve enjoyed your morning tweets about it.

That’s awesome! I still have never tried Zumba but I’m going to take a class at my school’s rec center as soon as I find out the fall group fitness schedule 🙂

That looks so fun! And I love that quote by Bikram Choudhury.
You make Zumba look so fun! I have got to try it put. Holly biceps is right-redonkulous! But holly calf muscle on you! Wow I am jealous! It is funny as a trainer myslef I can’t help notice body parts/muscles/alignments, hehe.
What a great idea for the cause and I love your workout gear. :)Have a good weekend Gina.

Looks like you had a blast and what a great cause you did it for!
Looks like so much fun…great job raising $300!

Way to bust it out for a good cause!
the class looks SO FUN! can’t wait to see the footage the pilot took 🙂
Congrats on raising all that money! That’s such a fun idea for a fundraiser. 😀
First of all, how are you able to look so amazing after a 2 hour zumbathon and secondly, your calves are hot!! You should be rocking skirts and shorts all year round.
I love Jessica’s shoes! So fun!
i know, right?! she has a lot of really cool zumba gear 🙂
Congrats on raising $300, that’s amazing! Looks like it was so much fun 🙂 Can’t wait to see the video! That quote is truly inspiring. I honestly believe that it is never too late to make a fresh start and get on the right track!
Hi Gina!
I’m a new reader (new = been reading for a few months) and I really enjoy your posts. They’re so informative! Great job with the Zumba fundraiser. We just held one for my nonprofit center this summer and it was so much fun. My Zumba experience is limited, but it was so fun (and exhausting)! It’s so wonderful to have people like you that are willing to volunteer their time for a worthy cause. We actually had five or six instructors — what great shape you two are in to teach the entire time (as evidenced by the photo above)!
Have a great weekend,
Natalie
I’ve never done Zumba before – do you ever teach beginner classes or is it all come-as-you-are without different levels? When you’re in Orlando, let me know b/c I definitely want to take one of your classes! 🙂
all different levels can zumba 🙂
i’ll definitely post the deets when i get a teaching job in orlando <3
How did you organize this fundraiser? That’s so wonderful!
i organized it through zumba- i had to submit a proposal with the details and when it was approved, they sent me all of my marketing supplies, sign in sheets and donation slip
You two instructors both look great. Looks like a lot of fun.
Looks like awesome fun!!! Go you! 🙂
MMmm chia pudding and chia fun in general is sooo good.
Casey
You girls always look like you have so much fun–love it!
I’m so excited to see these zumba videos! I might get up and zumba along with ya’ll! Definitely one of my favorite group exercise classes I’ve ever taken!
