Morning Zumba: Dance and Tone
Instructor: Mori Lugo Forget the workout, just lose yourself in the music and find yourself in shape at the original dance-fitness party. Zumba® classes feature exotic rhythms set to Latin and international beats. Then change gears and bring on the weights for a low impact/ high energy muscle building experience. It’s easy to do, effective and totally exhilarating. Wear workout clothes, comfortable shoes and bring a yoga mat and weights (2 or 3 lbs). Dates
