Power 8 Bands

We would like to start using these power 8 bands in our Zumba class for some resistance training. We will have some for sell starting tonight (hopefully, depending on UPS) for $8. You can purchase them from different gyms but they run at $10 to $12 dollars. There are three different types of resistance and we have all three but mostly the medium. If you have never done strength training then you will need the easy band. If you have done some strength training and want to improve a little then the medium works best. The hard resistance is for those who train all the time. You can test out which one works best for you tonight. We will be doing resistance training at least one night a week as long as we keep Mondays going. We will let you know by email which night to bring your band.

Mississippi Zumba!

Hey girls,
I have been having a great time with my sister in Mississippi and Tennesse and of course, I go on vacation and what do I do, I teach Zumba. Why not do Zumba where ever you go! I got to share my love and passion for it and open up my sisters new class for her as a guest. They were great! Those of you that know this song, I mess up but hey nobody noticed so who cares! I miss St. George and can't wait to be back teaching for my favorite Zumba girls!! Make sure you go to Monday Night Zumba with Marti and I'll see you Wednesday Night.

Instructor Fun

Hello-
I thought you guys might want to know what Marti and I due besides Zumba all week. During the summer we spend a lot of time on the lake with our families. We have taken up the art form of wakeboarding and as you can see we still have not mastered it yet. This is just one thing that we like to do. Just to let you know Marti is the second one in the video and she still has a fear of water (besides swimming pools) and so this summer we helped her overcome it a little bit and she was totally awesome. So, if you have a fear you need to face it so you can overcome it little by little. Yea Marti!!!

The Soca!

Ok, here is the newest routine. We hope by posting these you can learn them at home and then come to Zumba with confidence that you will get a great workout. Thank you for coming last night and we appreciate all of you for loving Zumba as much as Marti and I do!

PERSONAL STORY 2

Hello all you Zumba girls,

For starters, I want to let you know how much I love being at Zumba and being surrounded by such fun people. It helps me in my life so much. My personal story is not really about exercise but about life challenges that we have to overcome. I was abused as a little girl by someone that I truly love and still do. Since the time I have come to realize what happened to me I have had daily challenges to overcome. Life is not easy when you are constantly having to think about forgiving and forgetting someone that is so dear to you. I have only done it through prayer and the understanding of the Atonement of my Savior, Jesus Christ. I try to live each day as a new day. Some days are good and some not so much. I think by being involved in our lives and surrounding yourself by family and good friends is the key to happiness. It has been a struggle for me to be open about this and I am still pretty closed up about it but life is good. Life brings so many trials and good trials that help us become better people. I want to thank you girls for having the energy and excitement when you come to Zumba. It truly helps with the recovery process. I love Zumba and it does give me motivation to be a better person, mom and spouse and it definitely gives me the energy that I need to keep up with those everyday trails. Remember that life is good no matter what trials we are faced with in or lives. This personal story is by someone that truly loves Zumba but will remain anonymous.

White girls Samba!

Wednesday was great! We had a lot of new comers and we love it. We hope they get addicted to Zumba just like we have. For all of you that was there, you need to bring a skirt next time. I think having props makes you work harder and it is a lot more fun to see a skirt swishing then my back end swishing. We hope you enjoyed last night and we will see you on Monday! Check back in a few days because we will have our next personal story posted.
