I slept through a thunderstorm the other day. Trees were down, power failures, etc. Typical bad storms of 2012. I was shocked when I found out how bad it was. Stranger still, I'd just gotten in bed 30 minutes before, which means I'd fallen into a deep sleep in less than 30 minutes.
I was wondering why, then I read in a magazine that exercise helps you to sleep better. I already knew that it lifts depression, so that makes sense.
I've exercised before and didn't get these results. I mean, I feel terrific physically, like I could conquer the world. Today is my 10th wedding anniversary, but even that doesn't seem to make me depressed.
I'm taking Zumba. I'd already read that it's supper addictive and I would certainly agree. It's something about the party atmosphere and the music with the intoxicating beat.
Thought I'd pass this alone because there are so many people here desperate for sleep and just feeling better.

My sister tried Zumba, and hurt her thigh muscle, so I was kind of scared to try it. She is heavier than I am, maybe that's why. It does seem to be fun. I should try it. Do you take a class or is it a DVD?
Keep it up, it's great for your health.

There is a version called Zumba Gold for those older than 50 or just plain not in shape. This version can be done in a wheel chair. I don't have access to that so I'm making my own version. So far so good.
