 We’ve all heard of this new fitness craze that just keeps getting bigger and more popular. Whether you’re a skeptic, not sure what it’s all about or if you love your Zumba and want to make sure you’re spending your time wisely, here are the main benefits of the Zumba program.1. Total body workout – Zumba works your whole body to tone all the muscle groups and give you a heart pumping aerobic workout at the same time. It’s a way to get toned, benefit the heart, and burn calories all at the same time. As well as keeping you fit, Zumba will give you better motor control and balance. The more you practice, the better your cognitive functions, focus and concentration will get. 2. Interval training - Interval training is a method involving bursts of high intensity work alternated with low intensity. It is one of the best ways to burn calories and burn off fat. Zumba incorporates the principles of interval training into every workout by using alternating fast and slow sequences to vary the intensity. A 60 minute Zumba class can burn as many as 800 calories (depending on your fitness level and intestity), making it an extremely effective form of exercise. 3. Upbeat and fun – The main reason we stop regular exercise is boredom and lack of time. Zumba combats both of these problems by providing a total body workout in one session and making exercise fun. The music uplifting and motivating, and the class atmosphere is upbeat and energetic. Time moves fast because the class is fun and consequently most people look forward to coming to class regularly and subsequently see results. 4. Stress relieving - Zumba dance routines are all about releasing your inhibitions and losing yourself in the movements and music. When you spend time doing things you enjoy, you feel happier in general and of course we all know exercise helps your body release feel good hormones which makes you feel better day to day and decreases stress and anxiety. 5. For everyone – Zumba is designed to be accessible to all ages. You can put as much or as little energy into the moves as you want and go at your own pace. Zumba steps are simple with a limited number per song making them easy and quick to pick up so you can enjoy the routines and music. There are no expectations and no pressure - just great music and heaps of fun. 6. Social - Zumba classes have a great social atmosphere where you will meet people who have at least one thing in common with you. A class full of smiling, happy people makes the class more enjoyable and makes it easy to keep coming back. To join our classes please see our Zumba timetable. |
