Few things are better than a good meme. And when they happen to be memes about something I love, that\u2019s even better. I love laughing at all the little quirks that only the people who share my interests can ~really~ get. And by interests, I mean one interest. And by one interest, I mean obsession.<\/p>\n

Y\u2019all, I\u2019m talking Zumba.<\/p>\n

Here are a few of the best memes that really get me laughing. Scroll through them all before heading out to your Zumba class! You\u2019ll have a few gems to share with your comrades on the dance floor.<\/p>\n

1.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Because you\u2019re going tonight, right? If not, you may need to rethink your plans.<\/p>\n

2.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

These panels of six are always a classic. And you know what, in my opinion, the best Zumba groove is always somewhere in the middle of all six pictures. And with my bold moves, I know I\u2019m falling somewhere between the fifth and sixth picture just about every time.<\/p>\n

3.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

And each time, we leave so invigorated! If only our to-do lists could be as simple as this. Zumba five times a week? Sign. Me. Up.<\/p>\n

4.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Because all this Zumba filling up our to-do lists really does keep us all going through dark times. Possible even more so than our partners…although maybe we shouldn\u2019t tell them that.<\/p>\n

5.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

If they knew how we truly felt about Zumba, our partners may look a little like this husband.<\/p>\n

\u201cOh, a movie tonight? I know you really wanted to see it, but I can\u2019t…it\u2019s Zumba night!\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAgain?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAgain.\u201d<\/p>\n

But our partners probably aren\u2019t the only people crying when we can\u2019t seem to jump off the Zumba train…<\/p>\n

6.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

While we may feel like we\u2019re breaking our inner Shakira or J Lo or Janelle Monae free when we\u2019re in Zumba, by the end of class we\u2019re all walking out of there like we\u2019re trying to recover from the tribulations of aging.<\/p>\n

And don\u2019t even get me started on Zumba Tone…<\/p>\n

7.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Because that class hurts <\/em>the next day.<\/p>\n

8.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

When you have a coffee date with a friend right after class, you know that they\u2019re going to think you\u2019ve been through the ringer that day! What they don\u2019t yet realize is that you were just having the time of your life. But with a little work, maybe you could convert them to the Zumba craze sooner rather than later…<\/p>\n

9.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Even if you\u2019ve got to take them to class yourself and show them. Once they get into it, though, they\u2019ll realize how much fun it is! So much so that by December, they\u2019ll be singing a totally different tune…<\/p>\n

10.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

…because anyone who starts Zumba now is going to be as perky as Will Ferrell\u2019s elf come the holiday season. Seriously, how could you not be, when all you\u2019re doing is getting fit through dance?<\/p>\n

11.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Because even if we don\u2019t look as cool as we feel, at least we\u2019re doing the work, right?<\/p>\n

12.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Although I for one feel my inner pop diva deflate a bit when the instructor switches her game up and leaves me shuffling to an unfamiliar series of moves. Because once one move is introduced…<\/p>\n

13.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

…your whole game is upended. Once you fumble in your groove, it takes more than a few beats to shimmy back into place. But remember! Even Janet Jackson has had a high-profile malfunction in her dance routine, and she bounced back just fine.<\/p>\n

14.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

And even if we trip hard in front of the rest of the class, we\u2019re all still superstars in a Zumba class!<\/p>\n

15.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Especially when we roll up in all our new Zumba gear. Seriously. Any forgotten moves or stumbling can be undone just by checking you out in your swanky new clothes. All you need to take it to the next level? Serve yourself some Blue Steel!<\/p>\n

16.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

But no matter how good you look in those new duds, when the instructor changes familiar moves up with no notice, your Blue Steel is going to switch to this face when you see yourself in the mirror.<\/p>\n

17.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

But even if the instructor keeps the routine standard, and no matter our clothes or fierce looks, nothing can really prepare our \u2018dos for the post-Zumba mayhem. Just be careful when you\u2019re scheduling your day out, or you may have one unkempt aesthetic for your business meeting or Tinder date.<\/p>\n

18.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Maybe it\u2019s the hair, but sometimes we can\u2019t seem to convince our friends, no matter how hard we try. All I know is when someone asks why I workout with Zumba, I just gotta pull a face like this one.<\/p>\n

19.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

But who knows? Maybe our friends would be convinced if they could only find the right instructor. Like Inigo \u2013 an icon! If he were heading the class, you know we\u2019d all be lining up around the block! That persistence has gotta rub off on us, right?<\/p>\n

20.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Because after all, Zumba is more than a day at the gym. It\u2019s a whole party and community! Personally, I\u2019d rather get my workout in for the day by dancing wild for an hour than by staring into space and lifting heavy stuff up and down. Wouldn\u2019t you?<\/p>\n

21.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Man, sometimes, it seems like haters are gonna poo-poo on anything that diverges from what a workout is \u201csupposed to\u201d look like. Whenever people tell me dancing isn\u2019t a work out, I a), blame the patriarchy for hoodwinking folks into thinking that baseball is a more taxing sport than ballet, and then b), slap \u2018em with this meme.<\/p>\n

Solid gold.<\/p>\n

22.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Maybe those people who hate on Zumba just don\u2019t understand; it\u2019s way beyond a workout method. It really is…like…an entire lifestyle.<\/p>\n

See you all in Zumba class!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
