VIDEO: How Can I Dance Off That Winter Weight
A new fitness craze that's sweeping the country is featured in this week's "Ask Me Anything."
The approach of summer is heating up the streets, lakes and trails of the Metro, but in a gym in the, a group of students are getting a head start on a near tropical experience. Led by Katherine McGraw, the students are learning the dance & workout grooves of Zumba.
Zumba combines the dance moves of salsa, tango, cha-cha with a 60-minute workout. Katherine explained that the styles are great exercise because they develop the core muscles. The range of dance moves work against muscle memory, which increases the calorie burn of the workout.
Closer to home, you can scratch your Zumba itch at Anytime Fitness/InFit in Albertville. Owner , who happens to be a Patch blogger, is a certified Zumba instructor. A couple of other instructors at InFit are also certified, and lead classes weekly.
