The Cerritos Student Health Center introduced free Zumba sessions, an effective fitness workout program that combines latin and international dance and aerobic elements with music.

This program is opened up to all staff and students enrolled in Cerritos College.

Each session is one hour long.

Sessions will be held at the Student Center Stage starting on the week of September 12th, Monday-Thursday at 5 p.m. to 6 p.m. There are morning sessions on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 6:50 a.m to 7:50 a.m.

The Zumba fitness program is funded by Pound by Pound, a weight loss program to encourage people to choose healthier foods and to lose weight while having fun in the process.

A dietitian is available on Tuesdays and Thursdays by the program for anyone enrolled in Cerritos to develop a diet plan and how to choose healthier foods.

There are a maximum of 12 people who are part of the program that are able to take part on market tours where the dietitian will teach how to read food labels.

“This is a fun program to lose weight. People sweat a lot but that means that they’re burning calories,” Nancy L. Montgomery, Associate Dean of Student Health Services, said.
