Get motivated! Get fit! Eat right! Work hard! We are all supposed to be infusing these habits into our daily lives, but for some of us, these goals can be overwhelming, intimidating, and just not fun enough to want to spend time doing!
Enter Zumba® Fitness. Zumba® was created in the early 90s by Columbian born fitness instructor Beto Perez. Based on the principle that a workout should be fun and easy to do, Zumba® is a fusion of Latin and International music and dance themes that create a dynamic, exciting, experience. The routines feature aerobic and fitness interval training with a combination of fast and slow rhythms that tone and sculpt the body.
The tag line “Exercise in Disguise!” offers a hint of what you should experience in a Zumba® Fitness class! For many who are new to working out, or for those who simply have trouble staying motivated because they feel that working out is a chore, this is the perfect answer. The Zumba® Fitness program has radically shifted the way we workout, from the incredible music that drives the class format, to the use of disco lights to bring the party vibe to the room!
The “workout in disguise” has unique physical and mental health benefits. One study linked Zumba’s hip-swinging, booty and ab movements to increased core and trunk strength and better balance in older overweight women. In the study, after just eight weeks, the women’s quality-of-life scores jumped 9%, and their self-esteem increased 16%. In a related study that looked at Zumba’s psychological benefits found that people who practice Zumba feel more independent, and said that their lives seemed more purposeful. This dynamic and amazing program has the ability to transform you from the inside out! Thousands of men and women from all over the globe have been bitten by the Zumba® bug, and have transformed their lives. There are over 14 million participants in over 150 countries– even Antarctica!
