Zumba Fitness

Zumba Fitness is sweeping the country like wildfire but what is Zumba? is like no other workout you will ever experience! Zumba Fitness was created in the mid-90’s by Colombian native Alberto “Beto” Perez, a celebrity fitness trainer and choreographer for International pop superstars. Inspired by the traditional cumbia, salsa, samba and merengue music he grew up with, Beto paired his favorite pulsating Latin rhythms with the red-hot international dance steps his clients loved and Zumba® Fitness (Spanish slang for “to move fast and have fun”) was born! Since Beto brought Zumba® Fitness to the US in 1999, it has become one of the fastest-growing, dance-based fitness crazes in the country, with people of all ages falling in love with its infectious music, easy-to-follow dance moves, and body-beautifying benefits. Cindy Hoskins at The Fitness Center at nearby Ocean Isle Beach, NC has had to increase the number of classes. They now offer Zumba classes at different levels from beginners on up. Zumba is not only a great way to burn a lot of calories but it is soooo much FUN! The best way to describe the class is it’s jazzercise in the new millenium or a latin inspired dance class.

Since the past few months I’ve ditched my regular workout and started Zumba. And I have to hand it to you it does work really well. Everything you get in a regular work out plus the FUN. I enjoy doing Zumba and look forward to it daily rather than when it was working out I always hesitated few times before actually started. Zumba is a fun way to lose pounds.
I didn’t know what Zumba was before watching this video but I have to admit, it really looks like fun! I joined a gym three months ago and have been dreading the old routine I gave up more than 10 years ago (lifting weights, stretching, stationary bikes, etc). In fact, I’m ashamed to admit this but I’ve only been to my new gym once since signing up! After watching this video about Zumba, however, I checked my gym’s website and, you guessed it, they offer Zumba classes! Thanks so much for this article – I’m definitely going to try this out!
This is totally new to me. Very interesting stuff. Seems like its fun to work out Zumba.
If you try to go to a normal gym and work out its going be so hectic. But this is totally different . Very useful article and a video. Thanks
Yeah you even have Zumba Hip-Hop, Merengue and reageaton. Next to the regular Zumba stuff
We have dropped some videos of great Zumba instructors on Planet Zumba so you can do it from home!
Its so much fun you wont notice that you’r working out.
