Hi everyone and thanks to all of you who stopped by to chat with me at the Open Houses in October. It’s always great to meet new Sun Lakers as well as reacquaint with others.

The holiday season is almost upon us. There is so much going on this time of year and a lot of us tend to put off that workout commitment that is so important to our overall health. We all know how important fitness is especially with all the good food and parties coming up and that’s why Zumba® is right for you.

Zumba® Fitness is a Latin inspired dance fitness class that incorporates international music and dance movements creating a dynamic, exciting, exhilarating and effective fitness system.

Haven’t tried Zumba® yet? It is never too late to start. You will have loads of fun and meet some great friends. We will do routines to music such as the Salsa, Merengue, Cumbia and Samba, along with some of our familiar favorites.

This is your opportunity to shed some pounds and get in shape in spite of all those holiday events.

Join me on Thursdays at 4:00 p.m. for Zumba® Gold geared for Beginners at IronOaks. This class is for a limited time only; experience not required, I’ll teach you the steps as we go. You can start out slow and work into the routines. There is no pressure to keep up; you know your own limits.

Here is my schedule:

Cottonwood – Tuesday from 2:00-3:00 p.m. in Room A-6; Wednesday from 3:00-4:00 p.m. in Room A-6; Friday 10:00-11:00 a.m. in Room A-6

IronOaks (Oakwood) – Thursday from 4:00-5:00 p.m. in the Fitness Center; Saturday from 9:30-10:30 a.m. in the Fitness Center

I am a licensed Zumba® instructor with over 30 years of fitness training in Arizona as well as a Sun Lakes resident for the past 14 years.

You can find me on the web at http://marytyree.zumba.com, or under licensed instructors on Zumba.com. You may also e-mail me at [email protected] or give me a call at 480-250-9702.
