Family Fitness Day
Saturday, Feb. 4, 2012
11 a.m. – 3 p.m.
It’s a brand new year – time to break out the workout clothes, weights and water bottles and get serious about losing those extra pounds gained over the holidays. Whether exercise is your passion or a dirty word to you, you’ll find out about some great, fun ways to take care of your body on Saturday, Feb. 4. In conjunction with the exhibit
BODY WORLDS Vital, the State Museum will offer Family Fitness Day from 11 a.m. until 3 p.m.
Zumba®, a Latin dance-inspired fitness program created by choreographer Alberto Perez in Colombia, South America in the 1990’s, is well represented throughout the day. Combining dance and aerobic elements from hip-hop, samba, salsa, mambo, martial arts, Bollywood and even belly dancing Zumba instructors will guide guests through exhilarating and easy-to-follow sessions for all ages.
The afternoon of Family Fitness Day offers even more. Instructors from area Gold’s Gyms will be on hand at 12:30, 1:30 and 3 p.m. to lead special hour-long classes of their popular, high energy workouts. These classes are open to the public —just bring a pair of sneakers and some comfortable clothes.
