Want energy, confidence, sweat, and joy all in one class? Try Zumba!

Want energy, confidence, sweat, and joy all in one class? Try Zumba!

Welcome to season 7 of the Graced Health podcast called “in our cultures.”  Today I'm speaking with Mary Cable, Zumba Instructor extraordinaire. You'll quickly discover why Mary is THE instructor to get if you want to experience a Zumba class. She is definitely a hot ticket.

We discuss:

  • History of Zumba and what kind of fitness it is
  • What to expect the first time you attend a Zumba class and how you know what to do despite no verbal cues
  • Why Zumba is like a “gateway drug” into the gym
  • Permission to let loose in class - no experience necessary!
  • The difference between “Latino” and “LatinX”
  • Latin culture surrounding family, food, and celebrations
  • The importance of asking the questions to make change
  • Brown lives for Black lives
  • The hope for our children with integrating cultures 
  • The pride of the Latin culture
