Working out makes a big difference to your health, appearance, and overall wellbeing. I started working out again last March, after seeing a much rounder version of myself in my son’s graduation photo. 3 months in, I look more toned, have more energy, and feel better all around.
Zumba is one of the many workouts that work for moms. Whether you are stay at home, work at home, or work outside of the home. Unlike other workouts, Zumba is not intimidating in that equipment is not required. Zumba can be enjoyed anywhere, alone or with friends – even strangers.
I was lucky to enjoy Zumba in Makati, when the father of Zumba Beto Perez was in the Philippines.
I am not a very good dancer but the other moms I was with were fantastic. It felt very good burning calories and reducing fat with other people. Zumba burns about 650 calories an hour.
“I love teaching Filipinos, because you are just like the people from my country, Colombia. Everybody loves music, everybody is happy! That is what Zumba is all about.” – Beto Perez
In a separate event, also in the Philippines – Beto Perez engaged over 1,800 fitness enthusiasts in Zumba. This was held at The Circuit in Makati, as hosted by Ayala Land and Passion.
In our baranggay, there are also free Zumba sessions twice a week. Zumba is a good excuse-buster for moms who want to get more fit, lose weight, and be healthy but think they don’t have the time. Don’t hesitate to search on YouTube too.
Don’t forget: the best project to work on is yourself. Whether you call it a makeover or a transformation, us moms deserve the healthiest version of ourselves.
