HELLO gentle readers, I hope I will find you well. 2015 is the year of craziness in fitness, but you can pick up your dancing shoes and try some Zumba dance.
Believe me, this will be the beginning of your life transforming in fitness.
In the mid-90s, Zumba was just a few people salsa-ing in a tiny studio in South America.
Flash forward and this Latin fitness craze is everywhere as big in hip Holloywood health clubs (Jennifer Lopez is a fan) as is at the local Y.
Zumba’s real draw –besides the huge calorie burn, but we will get to that is that it feels more like a party than a gym session.
“It is exercising in disguise: You don’t realise you are doing cardio, lunges or shoulder presses,” said Kass Martin, a Zumba education specialist.
It is the answer to your fitness prayers? We will let you judge.
What is a class like? In a word: rocking. You will dance a different routine to each of nine to 12 songs, moving to a mix of Latin rhythms (salsa and meringue) as well as hip-hop, Bollywood, country and disco.
Each 45-60 minute session includes a warm up and cool down, some classes incorporate squats and jumps. Bottom line, you won’t be bored.
Do I need to be in great shape to keep up? No need to be a gym rat.
Research shows that fit and less fit people can get an equally good workout doing Zumba.
I have students with two left feet and some who dance professionally.
It is more about moving than getting the dance down.
While you may feel clumsy at first, you will get better. It is all about having fun while burning calories.
Some will ask what kind of body benefit will I get? You will burn off fat.
This workout can erase almost 600 calories per hour. You are constantly switching between high and low intensities, so it is a great interval workout.
Doing the moves also tones your whole body and improves endurance.
