After each class, I feel physically and mentally better… ‘For that hour, you’re concentrating on the routine, so everything else falls away.’ For now, she combines her weekly Zumba sessions with Pilates workout to maintain her firmness. ‘My arms used to be the bane of my life. I never used to show them, but now they’re toned. You wouldn’t believe it’s taken me until 55 to feel more confident about myself because, like most women, I used to go on these stupid diets and they don’t work,’ Lorraine reveals.
