CHECK IT OUT: Dance to Latin beats during Zumba classes

You can exercise — the key to staying healthy — 9-10 a.m. Fridays during a Zumba class with Nora Branhof.

Dance your way to physical fitness while learning exciting Latin moves and rhythms.

In addition, we have mapped out a convenient walking path around the library complex.

Make a quarter-mile lap from our back door and around the building parking lot. Make it four times for a mile.

For a longer lap, start at our back door and walk along the parking lot’s back edge around the back of the Community Center and down Commerce Drive, returning to our back door. For a mile walk, do two laps.

Want more exercise tips? Check out our exercise DVDs and books featuring yoga, aerobics, Pilates, tai chi and Dancing with the Stars.
