Zumba Gold, a low impact exercise program for senior citizens, meets at 9 a.m. on Thursdays at ReStore.

Taught by Lynne Scott, the workout sessions to music have been held there for more than two years.

Going through their paces this week were (from left) Peg Lawrence, Lynne Scott, and Julie Ludanyi.

Julie's "watch" said she took 2,700 steps during the 40-minute session, which is about one-fourth of what a person should walk each day. The ladies said Zumba is fun and healthy. The cost is by donation.

Zumba Gold is for senior men and women and for people needing rehab. A person can use light weighs, if he chooses, for muscle toning.

Lynne is also licensed to lead several other types of Zuma. She offers 6 classes at Crossroads Church and the Senior Citizens Center in Lima. For details, you may call her at 419-757-1305.
