Zumba is a fun, high-energy Latin dance workout combining aerobics and interval training. It burns 300-900 calories per hour. Practicing 2-3 times a week aids weight loss goals when combined with strength training and a balanced diet. Any fitness level can try Zumba. Just move around and have fun without worrying about perfect choreography.
For Beginners
Expect:
- Fun music and dancing. No dance experience required.
- Workouts range from low to high intensity interval training to elevate heart rate and maximize calorie burn.
- Movements target core strength, cardio endurance, and flexibility.
- Burns more calories per hour than step aerobics or cardio kickboxing.
Home workouts allow practicing at your own pace, focusing on moves you enjoy, and building confidence before an in-person class. Hydrate beforehand, then drink as needed to avoid dehydration from sweating during the energetic dancing.
While group classes cost $10-$20 each, take a few to learn techniques then continue at home. Advanced specialty classes like Aqua Zumba, Zumba Gold, Zumba Toning, and Zumba Kids offer fun variety.
