Zumba

Zumba combines traditional Latin dance styles, including salsa, mambo, cha-cha, cumbia and merengue, as well as hip-hop and belly dancing moves, depending on the instructor's preferences. Some classes will also utilize traditional group fitness moves, such as squats, bicep curls, crunches and hi-low aerobics combinations. By focusing on interval training, classes seek to burn calories without exhausting participants with a constant high-impact pace. The number of calories burned during the class depends on the intensity of each instructor, as well as the size and fitness level of the participant.
