Zumba Fitness® is the only Latin-inspired dance-fitness
program that blends red-hot international music, created by Grammy
Award-winning producers, and contagious steps to form a "fitness-party"
that is downright addictive. Have you tried it yet?
There are a lot of benefits to participating in Zumba. Since it is a "dance-fitness" class your heart and lungs will reap the benefits. This aerobic activity elevates the heart rate, burns calories, and increases oxygen consumption. Also, because it is a weight-bearing activity, your bones and connective tissue will become stronger. With breaks in the music and dances, Zumba also becomes an interval training method. Heart rate will lower slightly, then increase as movement increases.
How many calories can you burn in a typical Zumba class? Just as an example, a 150-pound person can burn more than 450 calories in a 50-minute class at a moderate intensity level. Obviously the higher the intensity level the more calories burned. The use of Zumba toning sticks can increase the calorie burn to as much as 1,000 calories!!!
