Ditch the Workout and Join the Party with Zumba Fitness!

Those people who want to have fun, lose weight and get healthy are in for
a big treat as Glenda Carnate, Zumba Dance Fitness Instructor
(Extraordinaire!), brings the newest fitness dance craze, Zumba to our
area. For those who are unfamiliar with Zumba it is a fun dance-
choreographed Latin aerobic exercise brought to our country by Colombian
native, Alberto "Beto" Perez in 1999. Since its introduction in the U.S.,
Zumba has become one of the most popular dance and fitness activities,
with fans raving about everything from its fun party-like atmosphere to
their amazing weight-loss.
Glenda, who is teaching many Zumba classes in central Massachusetts in
Worcester, Auburn, and Oxford, fell in love with the hot Latin aerobic
exercise right away, as Glenda has been dancing in one form or another
since she was five years old. Growing up in the Philippines, Glenda came to
the US several years ago, after being awarded a prestigious Wien
International Scholarship to Brandeis University in Waltham,
Massachusetts. Glenda, who graduated as valedictorian of her high school
class, felt very honored to have received such a rare opportunity, since
other Wien scholarship recipients have included many distinguished people,
such as the Prime Minister of Iceland, several United Nations dignitaries
and Nobel Laureats.
After graduating with a degree in Economics and Statistics, Glenda went to
work as an Information and Analytics Manager for a multi-billion dollar
company in central Massachusetts. Today, Glenda still lives in the area,
and although she enjoys her day job, she also looks forward to her
evenings, where she can wash away all the stress of the day with Zumba!
In addition to all of this, Glenda still finds time to help make the
community a better place through volunteer work. She is the President of
the Central MA Filipino-American Association, a Big Brother, Big Sister
volunteer and she also spends time working with causes to help
underprivileged kids, cancer research, senior citizens and health and
fitness. She loves working with people of all ages and her Zumba students
love her.
"Glenda is the best! She makes working out a great time," says one of her
students, named Justin. Another student, J.T. adds, "When I walked into
the class, I didn’t know what to expect... My face went from frown to
smile in less than a second... That’s how happy I feel with Zumba. It
energizes me, and I’m having so much fun. Oh, by the way, the instructor
is hot and super crazy!"
For those people who want to try Zumba, Glenda will be offering a free
Zumba class on April 7th in Auburn. She will also be starting many new
classes soon, and she will be launching a special summer class for kids and
teens. For more information about Glenda and the classes being offered,

4629. To find out more information about Zumba, go to www.zumbafitness.
