La mia esperienza personale
In the last years it has become very popular in Italy. I got to know about Zumba thanks to a friend of mine , in fact she really likes it. I was very curious and I decided to go to the gym with her for a trial and I immediately liked it so I decided to join the class. . I’m a very active person and I love to move and to keep in shape because I think that sedentary lifestyle is not a good thing for our health. I live here in Rome and also the gym where I practice Zumba is located in this town, so I can easy reach it. This gym is attended by many people, men and women, but the Zumba classes are made up only by women.
I hope that the next instructor, will be just as good as she is. I’ve never been) a big reader or a big computer fan but I have always thought that practicing sport is very important for our fitness. I tried different sports but no one struck me as Zumba did . It’s fun, it’s healthy and at the same time you burn lots of.
La mia routine e l'istruttrice
I’m a biologist and now I’m working in a hospital in Caserta. I dedicate a lot of my time to my work because I love it, but at the same time I think that it is important to spend part of our time for ourselves. I prefer going to the gym rather than staying home. I go on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays from seven to eight pm, and I try to do my best never to miss a lesson. My instructor is called Lucia Celestino. She is very nice and sociable, but unfortunately at the end of this month she will probably leave . I hope that the next instructor, will be just as good as she is. I’ve never been) a big reader or a big computer fan but I have always thought that practicing sport is very important for our fitness. I tried different sports but no one struck me as Zumba did . It’s fun, it’s healthy and at the same time you burn lots of calories without realizing it.
Conclusione e raccomandazioni
