Zumba makes me smile!
My ZUMBA® journey began 4 years ago with a wieght gain of 45 pounds. But I have a longer story than that. I played any number of sports since the age of 12 and even played Division One college basketball. After my first child I blew up to over 300 pounds. After 18 months of focus I was able to get back down to 170. Then I lost my exercise spark. The normal slow paced same reps on each side aerobic class wasn't gonna make it. Everything I tried didn't work or was boring or I couldn't stick to it. I needed something fast paced and fun. I was hooked after my first ZUMBA® class. After six months of ZUMBA® I became a certified instructor and started teaching ZUMBA® in Columbia, SC and over the next year lost that 45 pounds plus and kept it off doing something I love.
I have taught as many as 8 classes a week at various fitness centers in North East Columbia. I am happy to say my latest class schedule gives those that don't have a gym membership an opportunity to give ZUMBA® a try. Join the party live and you will find ZUMBA® is unlike any workout you have ever done. It is not a work out at all but more like a night out with friends. You may even find Zumba lifts your spirits and the glow you feel from doing something good for your self reminds you to be positive and grateful for the blessings in life..
