Benefits of Zumba® Fitness Classes

• it's a mental vacation from your stress

• you'll develop more cardio-vascular endurance.

• you'll tone your stomach, your arms, and your legs

• you'll have more energy (and be able to do more with the other hours when you're NOT in Zumba® Fitness Class)

• in moments when you might have otherwise let stressful thoughts creep into your mind, you'll find yourself singing in Spanish--and being happy about it!

• it's FUN!

• if you have "mother guilt" that prevents you from letting yourself have "FUN" then you can tell everyone else you're exercising--and still have FUN.

• you'll sleep better

• you'll be able to educatedly participate when you chaperone dances at your kid's school

• you'll FINALLY be able to stick with your exercise intentions because you won't want to miss class--EVER!

• you'll find a good use for any extra "curves" you may have. Latin dancing makes good use of them.

• you'll increase your immunity

• you'll decrease your risk of cardiovascular disease, cancer, diabetes

• you'll increase your bone strength, reducing your risk of osteoporosis

• you'll find you have greater flexibility and range of motion

• the increase in flexibility and muscle tone will reduce your risk of injury in other activities

• you'll add years to your life and quality of life to your years!

• oh, yeah-- you might lose some weight, if that's what you want to do. But with all those other benefits it won't matter. You'll be happier and healthier no matter what the scale says!

You don't have to know what you're doing.

You don't have to know anything about Latin dance.

You don't even have to do it "right."

Just come and move and laugh and come again.

You won't regret it!
