These are the TOP 5 reasons YOU should start taking Zumba Classes!


There's definitely a new wave in fitness and it's called Zumba. If you haven't taken Zumba classes yet, you should give it a try. Much of its craze and following is due to it's danced-based cardio class that blends the rhythms of Latin and Hip Hop music. Here are five reasons on why people are flocking to Zumba:
1. Easy to get started
You don't have to purchase fancy clothing or even equipment to get started. Just find the place that's having group Zumba classes, bring yourself and your two feet -- you should be good. This makes Zumba very cost-effective for people wanting to get a good workout. Just be ready to move your body to some Latin/Hip-Hop beats.
2. It's not just exercise -- it's fun!
There are a lot of fitness classes that is straight to the point, you're going to come here and lift weights or do steps for 60 minutes straight. I'm not saying people don't see the fun in that, but Zumba is a bit more unusual since it's a mix of dance classes and a fitness workout -- you're literally dancing the whole way through. Who doesn't think dancing is fun? Some people consider it a party every time they go. You can even take some of the moves you learn to the real dance floor.
3. You'll get workout and more
Zumba is based on interval training along with cardio. By keeping your muscles confused throughout the workout by changing the dances constantly, people often start to see results quicker than they realize. Going from Merengue, hip-hop, to salsa -- you don't even notice. Along with the slow and fast interval training, the workout is fast so you burn a ton of calories each session. Fitness can be fun.
4. It's very easy to learn Zumba
Zumba makes it very easy for people to follow along with having fun. A lot of the class will cover basic moves you need to get started. You'll repeat it over and over again, and before you know it -- it'll be something that comes second nature to you. Then you'll build upon it and start learning more and more. The idea is that you won't be lost constantly trying to keep up -- the goal is to have fun and get a workout too.
5. There's a level suited for you
Some people are afraid to start Zumba-ing since it seems so intense/fast initially. Although it definitely is a fast cardio class, there are many levels of Zumba to fit your needs. Every move has a modification, so you will feel comfortable with every move of your workout!
