Yesterday I became certified to be a Zumba instructor! It was an awesome day! I love to Zumba! Those of you who know me well know that I do not like to exercise. I don't like to sweat. I don't like fitness classes...but I LOVE TO ZUMBA! (I know, I keep saying it!)
If you don't know what Zumba is watch this:
You don't have to have a dance background. You don't have to have a fitness background. You just have to love music and dancing! The classes really are like a dance party! There are no corrections, there is no "right or wrong way" to do it! It's all about getting together, dancing your heart out, and getting in shape! Did you know that people burn between 500 and 1000 calories during each hour long Zumba class! On average that 750 calories! Speed walking for an hour burns on average 400 calories...
I really feel like this is a wonderful opportunity for this community. I think it's going to make Mom's feel sexy and good about themselves again. I think it's a great date night for couples.
Zumba is going to be offered at The Dance Studio at least 2 nights a week starting in September and we are going to have a week long (1 hour each night) Zumba Camp in July! I hope everyone will come and have a great time! Every class is going to be high energy, action packed, and FUN! If you would like more information on the camp leave me a comment with your mailing address and I'll make sure you get information!

That looks awesome! What nights? I might just have to do that!!!
I've heard WONDERFUL things about Zumba, I've wanted to try it for a while. I didn't know you were certifying, that's great! I know it'll be a hit, that is just the kind of thing that the area needs!
Miss you, by the way, and hate that we didn't get to see each other last weekend!
I don't like exercising either, but this sounds FUN!
Mindy - it's so great! You honestly don't feel like you're exercising or I would NOT do it! :0) When classes start I'll be sure to get you the info!!!
