Bees Landing Has Zumba: Fun is the Antidote for Lack of Motivation

Zumba is perfect when motivation is low.

We all know the importance staying active to maintain good health and good looks. The Haddon Hall Apartments certainly have everything you might need to stay fit. We have the well equipped fitness center for year-round exercise. The swimming pool is a great place to get your heart rate up. And Grand Oaks Plantation is a terrific neighborhood for bicycling, jogging or taking a brisk walk.

The one thing that might be missing is the most important–  motivation.

But that missing piece can be found right here in Grand Oaks Plantation, just a mile from the Haddon Hall apartment community.  Sign up for a Zumba class at the Bees Landing Recreation Center.

Zumba uses Salsa, Merengue, Tango and other Latin styles of music to get you on your feet and moving your… well, moving just about everything you have. Zumba is recognized by the Aerobic Fitness Association of America and other organizations as being the real deal, too.

Aside from the Latin music, another difference between Zumba and a generic aerobics class is that Zumba keeps the moves fairly simple. This is particularly good for men, who, let’s face it, often aren’t so quick as the women at picking up dance moves. Some experts say this makes Zumba a lot of fun, and fun takes care of the motivation factor.

The Recreation Center is beginning Zumba classes in mid-September, Mondays from 6:30pm to 7:30pm and Thursdays 6:00pm to 7:00pm. Classes are $5, pay as you go.

The Bees Landing Recreation Center is only a mile from the Haddon Hall Apartments, at 1580 Ashley Gardens Blvd. You could easily walk to the class, dance yourself into a state of ecstasy, and then skip back home in the pretty surroundings of the Grand Oaks Plantation neighborhood.

How’s that for a great way to get the heart pumping? It’s just one of the many things that make the Haddon Hall Apartments a great place to live.
