WAYNESBURG – For six weeks this spring, the Greene County Department of Recreation will be offering morning Zumba classes three days a week.

The “new” morning fitness program will be held every Monday, Wednesday and Friday from March 11 through April 19, with one exception – the April 8 class will be held April 9. Class times are 8:30 to 9:30 a.m. Classes will be held in the upper level of the 4-H Building at the Greene County Fairgrounds in Waynesburg.

Individual classes can be attended at a cost of $8 per class. Anyone wishing to attend all classes can register at a discounted rate of $5 per class for a total savings of $54 for the eighteen class session. The $90 registration deadline is March 8.

Instructor Melissa Frameli will lead the Zumba classes. Attendees should wear sweat-absorbing clothes and good support shoes, and bring water and a towel.

The fitness program Zumba combines Latin and International music with dynamic, yet simple exercise moves. Benefits of Zumba include efficient calorie-burning, muscle toning and cardiovascular improvement. Zumba is recognized by leading fitness organizations, including the Aerobics and Fitness Association of America, the American Council on Exercise and Can-Fit-Pro, a Canadian fitness education organization.
