ZUMBAthon Boise!

1/21/2012

Today started out cold and dreary only to be brought to life by the spice and passion of Boise’s first Special Olympics Idaho ZUMBAthon!

But what is ZUMBA?
“It’s an exhilarating, effective, easy-to-follow, Latin-inspired, calorie-burning dance fitness-party™” – Zumba.com

Getting into the groove

This was a fundraiser for Health Athletes.  Our Healthy Athlete program helps our athletes stay fit by offering a variety of services from health screenings to nutrition information.  We partnered up with the amazing Inner de-va of Meridian.  Sylvia O. Champion brought out her wonderful crew of Divas to lead us in ZUMBA.

It was so exciting to see all the energy and passion in the people who came out to support us.  This was not only open to adults but kids as well!  Inner de-va brought out their Zumbatomic group (kid exclusive ages 4-12) they not only participated fully in the workout but they lead the group too.

This was an excellent way to stay in shape and support a good cause.  A big thank you to all who came out in support of Special Olympics Idaho and Inner de va!
