Steve and Jason hit record again and this time they talk about Zumba on the road. Until a recent trip to San Antonio, TX, Steve hadn’t been trying to find classes while he traveled. Introducing: Studio VIDA! Dance Fusion Fitness.
Laila Facusse (left) was one of the instructors Steve met while taking classes there for 2 weeks. You can read more about her background on her Zumba profile. She also posts to her fitness blog talking about nutrition, dance, weight loss, and general well-being.
Other awesome instructors at Studio VIDA! included Gabi Mendez, and Carla (CarliBoom) Aranguren. Also, during a quick weekend in Austin between jobs he took a class with Laura Battle.

Steven interviews Kelly Emerson, the owner of Fit on 1st, Vancouver’s most awesome Zumba studio. He’s been going there since February 10th and really enjoys it. Coming from many hours on the Dance Dance Revolution arcade game he describes Zumba as “playing DDR on random, but instead of colored arrows you get your cues from a room full of women.”

As you go through the book learning Swings, Get-Ups, the Clean, the Press, and the Snatch, he takes you through intermediate steps to master the entire movement. It would be like learning how to drive a car by first practicing getting in and out of the driver’s seat. Once you have that down, you move on to the over-the-shoulder reach to retrieve your seat belt to put it on. Then the key-into-the-ignition maneuver. - The New Rules of Lifting: Six Basic Moves for Maximum Muscle [d]

Product reviews
- Walkmeter App – Steve & Jason – [d]
The KML links for your walk are very cool and are mapped over Google Maps. Each walk can be associated with a route, or not; there’s an ‘All Walks’ bucket that unmatched routes will go into. If you walk the same route multiple times, associating them with a route gives you best and worst times for your walk. You have the ability to start a walk, stop it for a time (going in to buy something, for example) and then start again. The walk doesn’t conclude until you hit ‘Done’ when it’s uploaded and a message sent to Twitter. We both liked this app.
- EatSmart Digital Bathroom Scale w/ Extra Large Backlit 3.5″ Display and Oversize Platform – Steve [d]
Easy to read display, gives you your weight in 10ths of a pound. Wide enough to get both feet on easily. 330lb limit, so I made my sister Amanda play guinea pig.
