It's the new dance cum fitness craze in town! That's right, I'm talking about zumba. This Colombian fitness dance program started in 2001 by Alberto Beto Perez. It is a fun mix of salsa and other latin dances, hip hop, Bollywood, and some belly dance moves too! The fun thinga bout zumba lies in the dance element. You pick up new steps that one could add to his or her repertoire. And you also at the same time shed those extra calories that have been weighing you down!
The class starts with a warm up, followed by the fun intsense dacing and a cooling down session that mostly comprises stretching.
There are minuses to this fun filled exercise regimen as well! Apparently, zumba is meant only for toning of muscles. So people who come to such fitness programs to lose weight don't benefit as much. I am of the opinion that zumba is a fun way of losing weight because you learn new dance moves and exercise your entire body.
A host of celebrities have taken to zumba, some of which include Victoria Beckham, Emma Watson etc. I say, if you want to have fun and be healthy at the same time, give zumba a shot!
