I’m sure that you have heard of the latest fitness craze, Zumba® fitness which fuses hypnotic Latin rhythms and easy-to-follow moves to create a one-of-a-kind fitness program that will blow you away. This Latin inspired exercise dance is a fusion of salsa, meringue, belly dance, reggaeton, flamenco with an emphasis on abs (core), legs and glutes.
The goal is simple: Zumba wants you to WANT to work out, to love working out, to get hooked. Zumba® Fanatics achieve long-term benefits while experiencing an absolute blast in one exciting hour of calorie-burning, body-energizing, awe-inspiring movements meant to engage and captivate for life!
The routines feature interval training sessions where fast and slow rhythms and resistance training are combined to tone and sculpt your body while burning fat. Add some Latin flavor and international zest into the mix and you’ve got a Zumba® class!
In the past years, Zumba® fitness has become nothing short of a revolution, spreading like wildfire, and positioning itself as the single most influential movement in the industry of fitness.
As of July 2009, the Zumba® program is being taught at over 40,000 locations in 75 countries, has sold millions of DVDs, and has changed the lives of Zumba® Fanatics worldwide with an astonishing five million participants taking Zumba classes every week.
Why? Because it’s the best party around.
Here are a few local classes in my neighborhood. I have a friend that keeps asking me to join her. I just might join her next week.
Here is a Zumba class video, although the quality of the video isn’t that great, you can get an idea of Zumba fitness. The guy in the front row is pretty hilarious too!
