"This is our third year to partner with Zumba and promote nutrition and fitness to our youth," said Marinela USA Brand Manager Melisenda Barajas.

Childhood obesity continues to be a growing issue in the United States, especially in the Latino community. In its ongoing efforts to combat this problem, Marinela USA promotes a healthy lifestyle that includes a balanced diet together with exercise. With ZumbAtomic, workouts incorporate easy, yet energetic steps set to Latin rhythms that kids enjoy.
"Childhood obesity can lead to diabetes, high blood pressure, and even asthma," said Barajas. "At Marinela USA, we want to stress to young people that changing bad lifestyle habits now can lead to a much healthier future. The solution will not happen overnight. Our efforts are only a small step in the education process."
