Public Health Awareness Day

This morning, I got the chance to spread even more Zumba® Love! I participated in the South Health District's Public Health Awareness Day at Southeast Elementary School. They provided many free health screenings such as blood pressure, cholesterol, and body fat tests. There were all sorts of health and wellness related booths spread throughout the gymnasium, and spilling into the classrooms and even into Scott Park across the street. Some included a chiropractor, a Red Cross blood drive, many participants from South Georgia Medical Center and the Health Department, and even a bounce house and face painting for kids. One of my regular class participants, Ms Sherri Strayhorn, got her free screenings done, and had optimal results on everything! That is proof that Zumba® can definitely improve your health!




I had a classroom reserved just for mini Zumba® classes. I had many participants come by to try out the dance fitness craze. At one point, the room was completely packed! Children and adults of all ages and fitness levels were getting down with some Zumba moves all morning long! A photographer came in and shot some pictures of our little fitness party, so hopefully, Zumba® will make the newspaper again. I was honored to have a chance to participate in Public Health Awareness Day!
