  • It's all about baby steps. Try doing exercise (even at home) as a circuit. One sitting exercise, one standing moving, each for 30 seconds or there about.

  • Hi just saw your post. Thought I'd try and answer your question. Yes, you do need to take Zumba out of the class name until you take the instructor class. Zumba Office does check up on these things and it keeps us all legit. It would save you some headaches until you take the workshop. I would explain to the class you'll…
