What is Zumba?
➢ Zumba is a popular fitness program inspired by Latin dance.

➢ The word "Zumba" comes from a Colombian word that means to move fast and
have fun, which is just how people describe the routine. Using upbeat Latin music
together with cardiovascular exercise, Zumba is aerobic dancing that is lots of fun
and easy to learn.
➢ Zumba is a cardiovascular exercise. It helps to keep your heart healthy and mind
fresh.
➢ 60 min of Zumba workout help you to burn on an average 600 to 800 calories.
What is Zumba?
Zumba involves dance and aerobic elements. Zumba choreography incorporates

hip- hop, soca, samba, salsa, merengue, mambo and martial arts. Squats and
lunges are also included.
● Alberto "Beto" Perez was the founder of
this “happy accident”.
● Zumba was created and started in 2001

and since then the Zumba program has
grown to become the world's largest –
and most successful – dance- fitness
program.
What makes Zumba unique in the benefits it
provides?
❖ Calorie Burning At a Custom Pace: Even the Zumba® routines with the greatest
emphasis on strength training are at their core a calorie and fat burning exercise.
Not all participants have the ability to burn calories at the same pace. One great
thing about Zumba® is the dance moves can be modified to match a participant’s
fitness, coordination, and ability.
❖ Full Body Workout: New Zumba® routines are being created all the time. While it’s
best to stick with a routine until the participant has it down, it’s also important to
move on to a new routine once the body has become accustomed to an old one.
Since Zumba® routines draw from so many different types of dances, it’s always
possible to find one that focuses on a different part of the body.
❖ This provides multiple benefits: 1) It keeps the workouts fresh, and 2) It ensures
that maximum calorie burning will continue to take place. When a person’s body
gets accustomed to a particular routine the number of calories burned slowly
diminishes. If you’ve been doing a particular Zumba® workout for awhile and your
body doesn’t hurt the next morning, it’s time to move on to something new!
❖ Greater Coordination: Even the fittest workout rats can have two left feet. Unlike
many other workout routines learning the dancing moves in Zumba® can greatly
improve coordination.
❖ Does Not Feel Like Exercise: Countless testimonials (including some described
below) from converted Zumba® devotees have mentioned how doing a Zumba®
workout is more fun than it is exercise. If you like to dance, Zumba® will feel like
dancing. If you like to work out, well, Zumba® will still feel like dancing. Of course,
this is not to say that Zumba® does not offer many health benefits, as nothing
could be further from the truth. It’s simply that the energy and confidence one gains
from Zumba® weighs much more heavily on the mind during a workout than the
hundreds of calories that are being burned.
❖ Greater Confidence: Zumba® routines, thanks to their dancing roots, can lower
inhibitions (in a good way). Zumba® will improve your posture, which will naturally
increase your confidence, and slowly mastering routine after Zumba® routine will
increase your confidence in a Zumba® class and everywhere else.
❖ Create Your Own Workout Routine: Zumba® was never intended to be a strict
workout regimen, but was developed out of improvisation rooted in all types of
dances. Anyone doing a Zumba® workout is encouraged to create their very own
Zumba® workout. What other workout routines allow for such user input?
