Zumba at home for FREE!

I have been wanting to try Zumba Class but don't want to spend the money if my body can't handle it.  After two knee surgeries, my knees just don't work the way they did 10 years ago.  Plus, I am so out of shape, I probably wouldn't last 15 minutes in a class.  So I did some searching and found a few Zumba videos I can do at home and if I need to stop for a moment, I can just hit the pause button.  Being out of shape and a newbie to Zumba, these videos are really good starters.  My 17 year old daughter does it with me and we hope to get my husband involved as well.  It's a lot of fun!  We are doing Lesson 1, Part 1 in the morning before we start our day and Part 2 & 3 in the evening.

I have to admit, I was about 5 minutes into it and my legs and feet started to ache and burn, but I kept on going.  It definitely got my heart pumping.  I am sure it burned a few calories, which is something I really need!

If you would like to do Zumba at home click on these links.  They are You Tube videos by Fitness Every Day.  Make the video full screen on your computer and Zumba away!

Lesson 1 Part 1 - Click here 

Lesson 1 Part 2 - Click here

Lesson 1 Part 3 - Click here


Add the links to your favorites so you can find them fast when you want to Zumba!

If you decide to Zumba at home also, please comment and let us know how you are doing with it!  I would love to hear from you!

Have fun!

SAVE $$ IN THE MEAT SECTION!

Shopping early in the morning can prove to be beneficial for finding great deals in the meat section.  I have save a lot of money purchasing packages of meat that were marked down that morning.  The meat is still good, but the date the store can sell it by may be the day you are buying it.  I have bought pork roasts, chicken and hamburg.  I immediately freeze it when I get home.  I have never had a package that was spoiled when I went to cooked.  When you buy it, make sure the color is still good.

My local market usually puts out the marked down meats around 9:30 - 10:00 am.   They place a SPECIAL tag on it and put it with the other meat.  Some times they put a SPECIAL tag on the meat, however, it is still the same price.  You have to watch for the new label which they put over the old label and then they put the SPECIAL tag on it.

Every store is different.  Ask the butcher if they mark down meat that is close to the sell by date and what time they put it out.  I know Sam's Club is another store that usually has really good deals on marked down meat first thing in the morning. 

If you are unsure about the types of dates listed on the package and what they mean, you can click here to learn more from the USDA.  Below I have listed some information I found on their site.

Types of Dates

- A "Sell-By" date tells the store how long to display the product for sale. You should buy the product before the date expires.

- A "Best if Used By (or Before)" date is recommended for best flavor or quality. It is not a purchase or safety date.

- A "Use-By" date is the last date recommended for the use of the product while at peak quality. The date has been determined by the manufacturer of the product.

- "Closed or coded dates" are packing numbers for use by the manufacturer.

Spend a little more time in the meat section and make friends with the butcher.  It could save you more money at the register!

If you have any other tips for shopping in the meat section, please post a comment and let us know.


Happy shopping!
