It’s the time of year again when the fall parties are kicking off in Sun Lakes. The fun has just begun! Unfortunately, along with the fun and good food come those dreaded extra pounds.

I have a great solution for you. Get back in shape and have fun doing it. Take those extra pounds back off with my Zumba® Fitness program.

Zumba® is a Latin-inspired dance fitness program that incorporates international music and dance movements creating a dynamic, exciting, exhilarating and effective workout.

Haven’t tried Zumba® yet? It is never too late to start. Join me on Thursdays at 8:30 a.m. for Zumba® Gold geared for beginners at OptumCare. If you have been away from working out for a while, this is a good place to get back into the routine.

You will have loads of fun, burn lots of calories and meet some great friends. We will do routines to music, such as the Salsa, Merengue, Cumbia, Reggaetón and Samba, along with some of our familiar favorites from the ‘50s, ‘60s, ‘70s and more. You can start out slow and work into the routines. There is no pressure to keep up; you know your own limits.

What to bring? Water, small towel, one- to three-pound weights (optional) and a smile.
