Araceli Jimenez

Araceli has participated faithfully for the last 6 months in the free Zumba classes offered by Centro Hispano, which have helped in her effort to lose weight, she says:"I've lost about 6 pounds in just weeks and want to lose 10 more, staying active and eating healthy.

She is from Guanajuato, Mexico, but has lived in Utah for the past 11 years. She likes to take walks to the park, gardening and cooking with her family. A typical day in her life includes house cleaning, cooking, going to work and care for her three daughters:15 year old Jessy, Cinthya of 12 and Vanessa of only 4.

 She said: "Centro Hispano has many free programs and activities available for the community which have helped me improve my health as well as my familie’s. I invite others to participate in the program "Your Health in Action" because it is important to be proactive when it comes to our well being and that of our children."
