An avid tennis player, Cruzat recently started jogging and has participated in two six-mile races. Cruzat's mother was her influencer.
"My mother was way ahead of her time in the way she ate and exercised every day. She worked six days a week in a cleaning establishment, but she got up early every morning and did her housework, cleaned, and exercised. "I always felt that prevention is the best route to good health."
Cruzat has shared the many benefits of exercise with many through her teaching. This fierce, fabulous, and ageless woman says, "Mentally and physically, exercise does a lot for me. It's a semi-high. Some sort of exercise is essential. Just walking, if you do it consistently, can make a difference in your health."
