Zumba fitness is here and bigger than ever! Janell Woolard, a certified Zumba instructor, has brought the dance-workout phenomenon to two locations in Logan County for your convenience. Woolard has stated that her main goal is to bring this extraordinary fitness experience to as many people as she can.

"It has changed my life," says Woolard. "Zumba fitness gives you back the energy you need to sustain a hectic life. And I want to give that opportunity to anyone I can."

Zumba fitness has claimed that you can burn up to 500 calories (and sometimes more) in just one session.

"And the beauty of it all? It literally feels like a dance party, NOT a workout," Woolard adds. And at this party, you will sweat.

You can find this "dance party" on Mondays and Thursdays, 6-7 p.m., at the Emden Community Center in Emden. For Lincoln, the times are Wednesdays at 6-7 p.m. and Saturdays at 8-9 a.m. at the Lincoln Christian University Laughlin Center (main gym). Payment and discount options are available. For more information and to preregister, you can e-mail Woolard: [e-mail].
