AQUA ZUMBA IS COMING SOON!


AQUA ZUMBA IS COMING SOON TO  MADRAS!
Soon, you will be able to move the dance party to the pool! Being in the pool has a ton of benefits! It is low impact, you will be able to jump and move freely without hurting your joints. (perfect if you are pregnant or if you have injuries).

 I am hoping for once a week on Fridays at 5:30pm BUT I will keep you all posted on what the pool decides.

You will have to buy a separate punch card for this class. Prices will be only 50 Cents more BUT you won’t have to pay any other fee to get into the water!

Single Class - $4                        

5 Class Punch Card - $18.50                   
will last you about a month!
($3.70 per class)

10 Class Punch Card - $35
will last you about two months!
($3.50 per class)

20 Class Punch Card - $65
will last you about four months!

Did You Know: Dragon Fruit!



Have you ever tried a dragon fruit before? I haven't, until now! It is so good, but not just that, it is also super pretty inside! It tasted and had the texture a little like a kiwi, except it is a lot milder in flavor.

Now, how do you cut into one of these babies? really easy!

  • grab your dragon fruit and knife and cutting board
  • slice your dragon fruit down the middle (like shown above)
  • now you can slice it down the middle again (into quarters)
  • now, see the pretty pink skin? grab a hold of a corner and pull back. You are going to just peel it away from the flesh.
  • when you peel away all the skin you are left with the edible white flesh. Don't worry, the seeds are edible (think kiwi)
Did you know:
  • they are full of vitamin C
  • full of anti-oxidants
  • it grows on a cactus!! 
so go out and try one! be adventurous! take risks! you might end up finding a new favorite food!
