So...you've tried the whole running thing. Well, you got out the door...good enough right? We've got you covered. If the traditional exercise means isn't really for you, we totally get it. Luckily for you, a new sensation has hit the dance floor and that would be Zumba! Yes, you may not be as cool as Ren McCormack and may not have the elegance of Jennifer Grey, but you're sure to have a great time with this!
Zumba originated in Columbia in the 1990s when an aerobics instructor, named Beto Perez, forgot a CD for his class. Instead, he used one of his personal traditional Latin CDs and taught the class on spot. Now, Zumba, Colubian for fast, has over 6 million participants each week.
The class incorporates Latin dances such as salsa, merengue, cha-cha, cumbia, soca and samba, to burn anywhere from 500-1000 calories! The best part is that now only are you getting your cardio in, but you are also working your arms legs and abs to give you an all around workout!
The instructor will dance in front of the class so you can follow along. You will probably be a lost cause on your first time, but shake it off, laugh and try your hardest. Odds are the person next to you is even more lost and confused than you are!
