The Villages - May 2008 - (Page 15) “Move your hips,” Nadine said to the class. “It works your stomach.” After about 25 minutes, class members had a water break and did a slower combination to bring their heart rates down. Nadine said she has seen participants wear their heart rate monitors and use up to 400 calories during a session. She tugged on her pants and said, “I’ve already lost seven inches just from teaching this class. I went from a size seven to a five. I want to push them.” She said women, especially, should enjoy themselves in class. “I tell them if a song is a real sexy song,” she said. “This is their time to have fun. The more you shake, which is what Latin is about, the more you lose. We’re shaking and we’re baking. It works.” Zumba is not just for women, either. David Fitzgibbons, from the Village of Summerhill, was the only guy in the class. He hoped others would follow suit. “I’ve read about it before, and I enjoy it,” he said. “I talk to some of my golf buddies about it, and I got a lot of maybes, but not a lot of firm commitments.” Nadine said you can pretty much wear anything just as long as you wear comfortable shoes. She recently took another workshop taught by Beto to learn some new choreography for her class. “There’s so much to absorb when you are in a workshop,” she said. “They give you CDs to watch, and you just apply it to the music.” Nadine said she brings in props to incorporate in the class. “I’ll bring maracas, and I brought a whole bunch of sunglasses to use, too.” She thought Zumba would be an ideal workout routine for Villagers. She said any Villager can handle the dancing. It appeals to them because of their lifestyle. “This is an active community,” she said. “They are not sitting in chairs. One lady is 85 years old, but she goes at her own pace.” Nadine said it’s also a great stress reliever. “It’s that same feeling when you get into your car and hear your favorite song,” she said. “It takes a lot of stress away, and I love teaching the class. How often do you get paid to do what you enjoy?” For more information, contact The Wellness Center at 753-6910. MAGAZINE 15
