WAYNESBURG – With the promise of a new year being the perfect time to resolve to get fit, the Greene County Department of Recreation will next month offer another morning session of the popular fitness program Zumba.

Beginning Jan. 20, Zumba will be held from 9 to 10 a.m. every Monday, Wednesday and Friday through Feb. 28 in the 4-H Building at Greene County Fairgrounds in Waynesburg. Individual classes can be attended at a cost of $8 per class. Anyone wishing to attend all 18 classes, however, can register at a discounted rate of $5 per class, for a total of $90. The early registration deadline is Jan. 17.

Instructor Melissa Frameli will lead the classes. Attendees should wear sweat-absorbing clothes and good support shoes, such as cross-training or dance shoes, and bring water and towels.

The fitness program Zumba combines Latin and international music with dynamic, yet simple exercise moves. Benefits of Zumba include efficient calorie-burning, muscle toning and cardiovascular improvement. Zumba is recognized by leading fitness organizations, including the Aerobics and Fitness Association of America, the American Council on Exercise and Can-Fit-Pro, a Canadian fitness education organization.
