Get Fit for $5

Posted January 14, 2010 @ 3:25PM

In a time when fast food restaurants appear on every corner, Swine Flu reports repeatedly clutter the local news, and many of the people we come in contact with on a daily basis are suffering from winter colds and illnesses, it is important to make extra efforts to preserve our health.
Although I try to eat healthy, wash my hands frequently, and get regular medical checkups, there is one healthy activity that I have never been a fan of—exercising.
Yes, I used to be a figure skater/hockey player/dancer when I was younger but once I started University 7 years ago my motivation for physical activity disappeared...until now.
I have finally found a way to obtain the health benefits of exercise without signing up for an expensive gym membership—Zumba!
Three times per week, Cathy’s Dance Studio offers 45 minute Zumba lessons that cost only $5 per class (or $25 for 6 consecutive classes). You can stop in whenever you want for a class—there is no need to register.
Zumba is the perfect cardio workout because it combines fitness and dance to the beat of Latin music. This type of exercise also tones the body and is easy to do. The instructors, Ruth and Jo-Anne, are very energetic and motivating.
Classes take place on Tuesdays (7:15-8:00 pm), Wednesdays (1:15-2:00 pm), and Thursdays (11:00-11:45 am). Please see cathysdancestudio.net for more details.
