Next month marks my 4th year as a Zumba® Fitness instructor! I can still clearly remember how difficult it was to put together my first full 1 hour Zumba® routine. Luckily I had the help of another wonderful Zumba® instructor who helped ease me into it!

Looking back, I didn’t do that great of a job putting the routine together. I pretty much had no pre-cool-down before I did my final stretching. I also had absolutely no Merengue songs and was heavy Reggaeton. But, overall I can’t say it was too bad for my first ever routine!

Here is the list of my very first Zumba® routine:

WOW! 15 Songs! 15 songs is A LOT to choreograph and remember for just one class. For those of you who are just starting out, don’t let the number 15 intimidate you! My next post will teach you how to ease into it. Stay tuned!
