On a Friday evening at the end of what seems a long week it can be tempting to sit and flop. George Martini can always be relied on to get us moving though, even if we were largely doing in inclusive Seated Zumba, which is just as energetic for everyone!

We continued to meet for Friday chat online, but this was our first chance to have Zumba with George Martini, who welcomed the New Year with some new routines. We are still meeting online only for the time being, but are looking into possibilities to meet up safely.
