| I started with Lourdes Uribe-Beard's Zumba group about August of 2007 and the impact on my life and body has been tremendous. As of today I have lost 32 pounds and I now have some of the curves that have been missing for about 10 years. The freindship and comaradarie also help me to keep going back to the classes. I love the way I feel after class and always wish the classes were longer. My husband also has noticed the difference the classes have made in me both physically and mentally. I hope I can keep doing Zumba into my 80's. Awhile back I had missed about 3 classes and was starting to feel draggy and my husband must have noticed how I was feeling also because he was talking in his sleep one night and said I had better get back to Zumba or everyone was going to be paying for it! We all truly love it!! ~ Lynda |
THANK GOD FOR ZUMBA!!!!!! My name is Cathy and I’m 47 years young. All my life I have struggled with weight, and not feeling good about my body! I have tried every exercise equipment, several gym memberships that never seemed to last, and numerous exercise classes that just didn't seem to fit. Then, in January 2008, along came ZUMBA. I can honestly say that is been the best work out ever! In a short 3 months I have toned in places I never thought possible. Big thanks go to Lourdes. Her spirit and energy is amazing and she makes the workout so much fun when in reality she is kicking our butts! Zumba has made a huge difference in my life. I now feel so much healthier, and seeing results for all the hard work is a bonus! I love it when friends and family comment on how great I look. My goal was to be fit by “50” and I know I’m on the right track. |
| On my 50th birthday I was recovering from having a hysterectomy. It took me about six months to start feeling like my old self again. In the meantime, I had gained about 10 extra pounds and didn’t have the energy I used to. I saw a newspaper article about Zumba and thought it looked like something I might want to try. I have always loved dancing and used to take a lot of organized dance lessons, so this seemed like something I would enjoy. Since last summer, I have lost about 8- 9 pounds and have firmed up and increased my body’s overall muscle tone. I always leave Zumba class feeling better mentally and physically. Lourdes makes the class fun and encourages us all to feel our inner beauty. Zumba class is a great place to get into shape and meet new friends. I love it! ~ Annie |
