Adance fitness program created by Colombian Alberto Beto Perez in the 1990s as a way of making exercise fun. With the catchy tagline "ditch the workout, join the party".
Zumba involves dance and aerobics, hip hop, soca, samba, salsa, merengue, mambo, martial arts, squats and lunges.
the question is: Does it work?
We have to keep in mind Zumba is dancing and dancing is exercising, which makes it obvious to work in a relative way but does Zumba burn more calories and tones your muscles better than any regular dancing?
We could say Zumba makes you express yourself through an array of dance styles such as salsa, cha cha, mambo, calypso, merengue, hip hop, reggaeton, and even belly dancing, which makes it fun and worth it. Zumba is affiliated by the Aerobic and Fitness Association of America; AFAA for short, the Canadian Personal Trainer Association and the American Council on Exercise; ACE for short.
Zumba full class:
Benefits: Interval training works in boosting the heart rate, burning loads of calories. It’s a fast and slow paced series of movements. Basically Zumba is non-stop fun action to fitness
What is real: You can burn as much as 450 calories in a 60 minutes class and "maybe" more depending how hard you do and how much you weigh. It is ideal for those who hate the gym setting and are bored with standard aerobics classes. Zumba fights boredom so you’re encouraged to become consistent without so much resistance to working out.
- A tip for those who are serious about it: incorporate a clean diet to your life and make sure you’re adequately hydrated throughout the day with clean water.
