Darlene Reed, a licensed Zumba instructor and a personal
fitness instructor whose studio is in South Hill, is teaching the boys
and girls at JFBHS, and they are loving it! With an average class size
of 20, Darlene allows the participants to choose the music and spend the
first 15 minutes warming up. After that, it's all high energy, intense
physical activity that builds strength, encourages motion, and improves
posture all while having fun.
"I'm very impressed," Darlene says, "with all the students,
especially the boys. It's not often that I have guys in my classes, and
it's very gratifying to see how much they enjoy the music and dance."
She loves what she is doing in getting the kids and staff up
and moving to burn 600 calories with cardio and toning. Her goal is to
have them become healthy and fit.
