My ZUMBA class consists of Latin, hip-hop, pop, 80s jams, country, belly-dancing, West African, broadway -- well just about any kind of dance. I choreograph the majority of the routines to include ranges of skill level and intensity. There is something for EVERYONE in my class.

The class has been structured following the principals of interval training. Interval training consists of repeating sessions of relatively high intensity exercise mixed with periods of lower intensity and some toning. It's GREAT for the beginner or for the advanced exerciser.

ZUMBA is fun, easy and you'll be sweating before you know it!

Please wear comfortable active clothing that is not restrictive and allows appropriate cooling for thermoregulation of the body.

Also, wear comfortable shoes, with plenty of cushion and lateral support. Typically, an aerobics shoe or cross-trainer is appropriate.

AND WATER!!! We'll be taking 30 second water breaks after every 4 songs. Trust me, you'll need the water. Staying hydrated during class is very helpful.

this week in ZUMBA

Hey! I'm looking forward to another week of class. We've been up to 40+ folks dancing their tails off. There is plenty of room. You guys don't have to stand in two straight rows like we're in the military. Stagger yourselves and you can come up front. I don't bite. In other words, just be mindful of everyone's space.

ZUMBA MUSIC THIS WEEK:
• Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday: some of everything

We're going to be doing what we've been doing since the new year -- just mixed up a bit :)

Healthy Recipes for
Seasonal Fall and Winter Foods
I know food gets pretty boring in the winter. I hate trying to decide what's for dinner every night. So here is something to try.

Sweet Potato
Health benefits: Bursting with vitamin A (377 percent of your daily recommended intake per cup!) and high in potassium and fiber, this versatile vegetable can be worked into a variety of dishes, from sides to desserts. One point to note: Its high sugar content translates into a fair number of calories, so consider this ingredient more like a starch than a vegetable.

Nutrition: (1 cup, raw) 114 calories, 0.1g fat, 26.8g carbohydrates, 4g fiber, 2.1g protein

I really want to try this moroccan sweet potato salad by o pistachio.

Let me know if you try it!

Happy Martin Luther King Day!
