Zumba Class

Zumba is a fusion of Latin and International music and dance themes that create a dynamic, exciting, effective fitness system. The routines feature aerobic/fitness interval training with a combination of fast and slow rhythms that tone and sculpt the body. Zumba utilizes the principles of fitness interval training and resistance training to maximize caloric output, fat burning and total body toning. It is a mixture of body sculpting movements with easy to follow dance steps.

In a nutshell: It's fun...the type of exercise you'll want to do everyday and feel good about doing. It's different. You probably never thought you'd be exercising to this type of music. It's effective. It's an aerobic workout, which we all know works. But it's more fun, which makes you stick with the program and that delivers results.
