Zumba Music and Workout

Zumba Music and Workout

Music is the key ingredient in this great fun workout. You will have so much fun getting in shape with Zumba fitness partly because of the pulsating music originating from Latin rhythms, swing and calypso, rock and hip hop. The most important thing is that you relax into and feel the rhythm of the music, that way you will have fun during the class. Zumba would not be what it is now without the fabulous rhythms and beat to the music. It sets the class up giving it a fun party feel, bringing an exciting edge to the workout session.



The steps do target several areas of the body such as the arms, legs and core areas. This way, you can tone your muscles, burn fat and have fun getting in shape with Zumba fitness all at the same time.

Zumba is a fitness program. Dancing to the music is basicially a form of aerobic exercise. The movements come from different Latin dance styles like Salsa, Samba, Merengue, Reggaeton and Hiphop. Once a person is introduced to Zumba dance they can't help but begin to move to the upbeat music.

It's all about having fun and getting in shape, but you also develop your stamina concentration, focus rhythm and balance. The constant moving and dancing keep your heart rate up, increases your lung capacity while working your muscles as well. You will definetly lose weight as long as you decrease the calories you consume, just cut back a little and eat healthy foods. Give it a try, the program itself is effective and fun to do.

Zumba Cardio Fitness Part 2

Zumba Cardio Exercises - Low Or High Intensity Exercise Burns Body Fat Faster? Part 2
Well, the scientists were right when they said that our bodies burn more body fat during low intensity exercises like walking or a leisurely swim. But during a high intensity exercise like Zumba fitness fun, our bodies burn a lot more calories. Even if some of the calories burnt are from glycogen, we will still burn many fat calories as well.
To add icing to the cake, when your store of glycogen is low, the carbs from your meal you eat later gets converted into glycogen to fill up the store and will not be converted to body fat when left unused for energy.
Furthermore, high intensity cardio exercises crank up your metabolism even after your workout is done. This means that your body will continue to burn body fat hours after you have left the gym. This effect is almost non existent in low intensity cardio or aerobic workouts. Accumulatively, your body burns up many, many more calories during and after high intensity cardio exercises than lower intensity ones.
You can inject high intensity exercises into your cardio workout by introducing some interval training. You can walk briskly for 5 minutes, then breaking into a jog for another 5 minutes. Then walking briskly again until your breath has stabilised and then sprint for a minute before walking again for another minute. From this point, alternate between a sprint and a walk, a minute each and do this for the next 15 minutes and you are done.
Do this for 5 days a week and before long, you will be steadily losing unwanted body fat and weight healthily and naturally.
One thing we don't want to happen is for us to loose interest in our exercise routine, because we all know if that happens we just throw in the towel and don't exercise at all. So... don't forget you can always do something fun to get fit like attending Zumba Fitness fun classes at least twice a week. Gauranteed to leave with a feeling of invigoration, motivation and best of all a big smile.
See you there
