ZUMBA participants have fun, burn calories, and help fight hunger January 8 at the "Taste of ZUMBA"

On Friday, January 8, Freedom Fitness in Carrolltown Mall raised $162 for Carroll County Foods in an effort to fight hunger.

Freedom Fitness , part of the Freedom Area Recreation Council (FARC), hosted a “A Taste of ZUMBA” from 7 to 8 p.m. , with each participant donating $5 to Carroll County Foods.

ZUMBA is a dance-inspired group fitness class that uses Latin rhythms and easily followed moves to create a dynamic but easily learned workout. The routine mixes fast and slow rhythms to help tone and burn fat. Friday’s group danced to Latin based and modern pop music.

Tracy Cox, a fitness instructor with over ten years of experience, led the exercise class.

“Friday night was a fun dance party,” said Cox. “This was a great way to nourish our bodies with ZUMBA, and feed the hungry - a great time was had by all.”
