from Rachel:
My name is Rachel. I first saw the ZUMBA® fitness program on television and was instantly intrigued. I had just had a baby and hadn't danced professionally in a couple of years and wanted to get back into shape but I was bored with all my old exercise routines and loosing the enthusiasm it takes to get back in shape ! I had a bad birth with my son and my back had been damaged. I was told it may never recover the same strength it had before my pregnancy, everything I tried left me with terrible back ache and I was sure a ZUMBA® routine would be the same but I was wrong.
The ZUMBA® program was totally different, the first time I tried it I was hooked. Being a dancer I loved the moves and music and while I danced I couldn't help but smile. Instead of dreading that daily workout I looked forward to it and stretched it out. As for my bad back well in weeks it had gone. My core was strong, muscles toned and the weight I had gained in pregnancy, gone. The ZUMBA® program had given me back the thirst to keep fit and I had fun. Within the year I decided to train to become an instructor. Anything that had made such a difference in my life was sure to do the same for other people and I wanted to be part of this. I wanted to help people get or stay fit and see them smiling, that makes me happy.
Since I discovered ZUMBA® fitness I have never looked back and would certainly never be without it. These days it is something I often live, sleep and breath.
