Zumba "GOLD"

"Gold." We all know the true connotation of the euphemism "golden years." It is just an expression for _ _ _   _ _ _.  


GAC zumba classes are separated somewhat by abilities----but the participants in the “gold” zumba have several obvious characteristics. List below only includes today’s glaring differences.
  • Wal-Mart matchi-matchi apparel out numbered UnderArmour 
  • No mid-driff flesh visible
  • FitBits worn by a few but not a single Apple Watch (What Medicare gal has the eyes or finger dexterity for that??) 
  • Knee brace, ankle brace and wrist brace all seen, on the 2nd row alone. 
  • Uptown Funk blares, but it’s the “clean” version. 
  • Toes tap to “all the right junk in all the right places….but the places are a lot closer to the floor than they once were. 
  • More smiles than sweat---just making it through the door each week is a feat.

When one is closer to the end of their life than the beginning, the truth of Psalm 73:26* resonates in a Zumba Gold room. It’s what keeps me going and smiling.


* My flesh and my heart may fail, But God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.
