Zumba Fun, Zumba Fitness

  ZUMBA ... What do you think of when you hear that word? Well, I think fun, fitness party!! If  you have never been to a Zumba class or event you should take the time to check it out and see what the buzz is all about. Zumba is Latin inspired aerobic dance. You will see a wide array of dance styles. Some of my favorites are salsa, cumbia, reggaeton, bachata and of course a little hip-hop. The best part about Zumba is that it really is for everyone and you don't have to have a background in dance to be able to do it. Simply, follow your instructor and they will show you what to do.

I would like to share how Zumba has changed my life. First, I was a smoker and wanted to quit. I knew that I would have to replace a bad habit with a good one so the first step I took was to join my local YMCA. I did the usual treadmill, elliptical and weight lifting but I really wanted something that was more "fun" while still getting a full body workout. So, I saw a Zumba class and I knew right away that it was something I wanted to try. My first class I found my spot in the back of the room but I was hooked from the start. Eventually, I made my way to the front of the class and then in February 2011 I drove 10 hours, to Hattiesburg, Mississippi to get my certification to instruct. Here I am, two years later, still enjoying every class like it was the first one.

You can find my schedule at Zumba.com or you can find an instructor in your area.  I also have some upcoming events that I will post later. I invite you to come join the fun while supporting some great causes!
