What will it take to MOTIVATE you to get healthy and fit?
PhillyFIT Magazine November/December 2011
 Carol Nieto I have been teaching group fitness for 20 years with many fitness certifications. I teach all ages including Kids to Seniors. Below are a few short bio’s on some of my Zumba Gold participants. We have a couple in the ninety’s in our group and they truly are amazing and inspiring. This is a “standing” Zumba fitness/dance class.
Shirley Nice I am 83 years old. My Swedish background gave me a strong body and I feel obligated to keep it that way. My two years with Zumba Gold makes me feel as though I am honoring that obligation. Jayne Reddie Zumba is a very good way to exercise to music and with friends who enjoy the same thing. I lived at the shore for the last 30 years, where bicycling was a favorite sport, whether you were on the boardwalk or on the street. It’s fun early in the morning before the traffic gets heavy. I am so glad to be able to Zumba at my age–90.
Helen Anderson I can’t believe I will be 92 on October 1st! I don’t feel that old! One of my first memories is of my father taking me out on a dance floor and doing the Charleston with me. I was five. The most important event connected with dancing is meeting my husband-to-be. He arrived to take lessons where I taught ballroom dancing. As a tomboy, I have always been active. My main motivation is my family who believe I will live to be 100 years old. Zumba is the most fun exercise class and I enjoy the camaraderie.
Betty Kitson I am 77 years old. As far back as I can remember, I loved to dance and exercise to music. The first health clubs that I was associated with didn’t do much aerobically. (Does anyone remember Elaine Powers Figure Salons?) Later I did step aerobics at the YMCA, which became more difficult as I got older. But Zumba Gold is just right. It suits my needs for aerobic exercise with low-impact movement and I love it!
