When it comes to fitness and Zumba, one name that constantly pops up in conversations among cancer survivors is Assoc Prof Dr Mohd Nahar Azmi Mohamed.
The ladies love his classes, men long to move like him, and patients wait months to consult him.
Every Saturday morning, the affable head of Universiti Malaya Medical Centre’s (UMMC) Sports Medicine Department can be found shouting instructions, swivelling his hips and moving to intoxicating rhythms as he teaches Zumba and aerobic classes to cancer survivors at the hospital’s premises.
