she realized how much Zumba had helped her reach her fitness goals,
she knew it was something she wanted to use to help others. Zumba
is fun, upbeat, happy, and is like a workout
without working out. Your
mind is focused on the choreography and your body is focused on
moving and before you know it,
class is over and you have just worked
out for a whole hour! Wendi is a current member of the Zumba Instructor Network
and lives with her husband in Parker, Colorado.
