During Women\u2019s Emphasis exercise since 2008 according to the \u201cZumba with Hope\u201d website.<\/p>\n Jackson State University Walter Payton Recreation and Week, the Zumbathon classes were filled with young, bright faces. Brittany Renner, the instructor of the classes, seemed very optimistic about the class and about the current health state of women.<\/p>\n \u201cI don\u2019t really think it [women\u2019s health]\u00a0 is where it should be exactly. I think it\u2019s just because most of us just don\u2019t have the knowledge or the tools to really work on our health. But I feel like as far as what the Payton is doing with health week really gives people the chance to really learn and see what the Payton has to offer health wise,\u201d said Renner. She added, \u201cI just love dancing and working out and I feel like Zumba combines both and the fun aspect of it.\u201d<\/p>\n The class started with an across the floor warm up of sprinting, salsa hips and football shuffling. However, when the music started blasting, the participants got extremely hype and went right into the moves. The class was a non-stop fest of current music and current dance moves. At the end of the workout, Renner played \u201cPour It Up\u201d by Rihanna and incorporated the dance craze of twerking into the mix which had everyone screaming with excitement.<\/p>\n Debbie Christy, a freshman biology major from Memphis, Tenn. said she felt the class was great.<\/p>\n \u201cIt was very interesting and entertaining. The dance exercises weren\u2019t hard and they were a great workout. I really enjoyed it and I would definitely take the class again,\u201d\u00a0 said Christy.<\/p>\n Roneisha Waiters, a freshman psychology major from Memphis, Tenn., said, \u201cThe Zumba class is upbeat and it makes you sweat and it is fun and hip. I would definitely go again. She added, \u201cI feel like women\u2019s health is so crucial in this day and age. I feel like we all need to work more to better ourselves and our health. You can never be too healthy\u201d<\/p>\n The Zumba class is scheduled for every Tuesday and Thursday in the WPC at 7 p.m. in the dance room behind the weight lifting center.
