Denise is an AFAA certified instructor who also holds qualifications to teach various fitness formats, such as Turbo Kick, Piyo, Zumba® and Zumba® Toning, indoor cycling, and R.I.P.P.E.D. Why so many? ”I believe that there is a fitness class for everyone. You should see which one is the one that makes you feel like exercise isn't a chore. The best exercise is the one you want to do on a regular basis. Also, fitness should be multi-faceted. Doing various types of exercises not only makes you stronger, but prevents injuries due to repetitive stress. I want to be able to provide that.”
Latin music pulses from the stereo as multiple women jump, shimmy and sway to the beat. It's not a dance club-this is a regular exercise class offered by No Excuses. It's called Zumba, and if you're looking for a way to exercise that will help shed pounds, become fit, and have you feeling great, this is it. Part dance, part aerobics, Zumba works almost every muscle in the body.
The classes are lead by Kemi Lucas. She tried here first Zumba class at the Carondelet YMCA. And that's all it took; she's been hooked on the Latin-inspired dance exercise ever since. She quickly became familiar with the moves and was soon receiving numerous compliments from instructors and participants about her natural talent. This motivated her to pursue a Zumba teaching certification; her dream was to be an entrepreneur, and Zumba was fun, enjoyable, and the schedule was flexible enough to work around her family.
She achieved her certification in November 2011, and has been teaching classes since January 2012. She believes Zumba is about having fun and going at your own pace; this reflects an easy to follow moves and her goal of having people enjoy themselves, laughing with her as they move their entire body. Since teaching Zumba, she has seen wonderful flexibility and endurance progression over the course of a few weeks, as well as an increased comfort level with more challenging moves. Outside of teaching Zumba with No Excuses, Kemi also teaches Zumba classes at Mainstreet Gym (St. Charles) and St. Louis Fitness Club (St. Louis.) She also enjoys the wide range of activities St. Louis has to offer, espically outdoor concerts, bands and parks. She is an avid reader consuming many different types of literature
