Zumba, Hot Exercise and Fitness Trend
Zumba is the one of the fastest growing exercise and fitness trends around the world, with the Zumba fanatics chanting the mantra of: 'Ditch the workout and join the party!'
What makes Zumba exercise and fitness routines so unique and different that it actually makes participants feel like they are at a party instead of an exercise class? It's the music and the dance moves.
Zumba combines the driving rhythms of Latin music and sizzling dance moves and routines that work every muscle in the body, in an atmosphere that makes participants forget they are exercising.
Zumba mixes dance routines into exercise and makes exercising fun. The merengue, salsa, belly dancing, cumbia, and calypso are all part of the Zomba exercise and fitness routine. Zumba disguises the exercise to make it fun, which is much more appealing than another walk on a treadmill or another set of squats.
Those who participate in Zumba exercise and fitness routines can work at their own pace and modify the dance moves to their own level of fitness or agility. Participants of Zumba are encouraged to learn the dance steps first, then if the other Zumba dance moves can't be mastered, the participants can just wiggle. Zumba Gold exercise classes are also offered for seniors and beginners at fitness centers that have regular Zumba classes.
According to the Zumba website, http://www.zumba.com/us/about/, Zumba has become nothing short of a revolution, and Zumba has coined the concept of 'fitness-party'.
The Zumba exercise and fitness trend is designed for both the body and the mind. Zumba exercise routines offer and hour of interval training, resistance training, body toning and body sculpting with moves and music that promote a party atmosphere.
Zumba leaves the participants laughing, sweating, building muscle and burning fat. Group exercise classes that offer more for the money, like Zumba, made it into the top three WebMD fitness trends of 2009.
The Zumba exercise and fitness trend began in the 1990's, when a Columbian aerobics teacher, Beto Perez, forgot to bring the traditional aerobics music to his class one day. Beto Perez improvised his aerobics class workout that day, using his favorite Latin music. The music, the dance moves, the aerobics class was a hit that day, and Zumba was born. From that accidental beginning, the Zumba exercise and fitness trend has criss-crossed the globe with Zumba classes offered in 35 countries and with more than 3 million DVD's sold for those who wish to have their 'fitness-party' at home.
