Zumba at the Spectrum

You may have heard of it, you may have seen it or maybe you have already Zumba’d.  Either way, you must check out the Zumba class that is held at the Spectrum Health Club in Santa Clarita.  This class goes on Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 4:30.  The teacher (Marion) is awesome.  She is fun and keeps the class going non stop for a full hour.

Zumba is a blend of salsa, merengue and a little hip hop.  The music is energizing and the routines are learned over about 5-6 classes, so don’t go to one then give up.

You can set the tone for your own work our and go slow or hit it hard.  You can burn between 500-800 calories in an hour Zumba class depending on how much you are pushing yourself.  You will see for yourself that a handful of ladies are “really” in to it and leave there dripping sweat as if they where just on “So You Think You can Dance”. Seriously, nothing wrong with that, I want to be just like them when I grow up.

Sooooo if you are looking to Zumba, stop by the Spectrum M,W,F for the 4:30 class.  Whear comfy shoes (or just socks).

Not a member? No problem, the Spectrum will give you a 1-3 day free trial if you ask.  Actually if you think of it, ask for Bill.  Tell him Barbara Boser sent you.   Hey seriously I could use a few referrals to get my membership fees down a bit.

See you there!!!

Saugus High School Graduation 2009

Saugus High School will be graduating on June 3rd 2009 at 7pm at COC.

Gates at COC open at 5:30 and parking is usually pretty bad so don’t be late.

Rumor has it that students will be searched before entering the stadium, so if you are planning on bring a blow up doll object, beach ball, frisbee, etc you best hide it WELL.

I swear watching the kids throw things around is the best part of graduation. I don’t know why the adminstrations are such downers when it comes to that.

Anyway, congrats to all the grads and to my favorite Alexis, you know who you are.  I am your biggest fan.  Looking forward to hearing great things about you in the future.

May you forever bleed purple.
