 Zumba
truly has changed my life.
I am a victim of child abuse. Because of my past, I've had a very
difficult and challenging life. As an adult I was prescribed Xanax,
an anti-depressant, to deal with my insomnia and depression. After
years of prescription abuse, I noticed the change in my behavior.
There was too much stress and not enough happiness in my life.
A good friend of mine started teaching Zumba Fitness (Nora Milley) in
North Carolina. I had her as a Guest Instructor teaching Zumba on my
fitness cable show. Unaware of how this event would change my life, I
decided to sign up for a workshop and see if this could be life
altering for me as well.
On December 14, 2007, I went into a short out-patient-DETOX program.
After several grueling weeks, I can say I did it! I have now been
Xanax free for over 16 weeks. Every single day I teach myself to do
things without Xanax. One of those things has been Zumba.
On January 12, 2008, I took the Zumba Fitness workshop and decided to
take the next strides towards transforming myself! I can truly say
that Zumba gave me well over 75% of a positive change in my life and
helped the process of being Xanax-free! I started teaching ZUMBA
Fitness 4 days after the workshop! The registration was closed to my
first Zumba class, because it was already full!! I still teach other
fitness classes every week, but Zumba is the most rewarding for me!
Since the workshop, I have been asked to be a Zumba Guest Instructor
and I was asked to give Zumba Demos at city functions. A few
newspapers are even interested in my Zumba story, and I have numerous
Zumba classes lined up for the Spring and Fall 2008-09! I also
designed a website for authorized
Zumba Instructors of Michigan the
week after the workshop! Oh, I lost 10 lbs since starting Zumba too!
I plan to continue to promote Zumba and get successful with this great
program!
I want to thank Beto and his company for giving people like me the
chance to teach such a wonderful program! |
