Zumba is really all about having fun while working all areas of your body to become more physically fit. Classes start with a warm-up intended to get the body ready for exercise. You then move into a series of easy to follow dance moves choreographed specifically to each song. You will be moving forward and back, stepping side to side, turning, kicking and even doing some balance work, in the pool. Working against the water’s resistance builds muscle. You are actually working all of your muscles all of the time. It’s very easy to move in the air, once you are in the water you have to push and pull against the water. It works all parts of your body. Exercising in the pool makes the workout low impact and easy on the joints. This is a great workout that can help you reach your fitness goals. Even if you are not a big fan of the pool, chances are you will still get a kick out of Aqua Zumba.
