Zumba combines high energy and motivating music with unique moves
and combinations that allow the Zumba participants to dance away
their worries. It is based on the principle that a workout should be "FUN
AND EASY TO DO" allowing Zumba participants to stick to the
Zumba Fitness program and achieve long-term health benefits.
Zumba is a “feel-happy” workout that is great for both the body and
the mind.
ZUMBA is a fusion of Latin and International music - dance themes
that create a dynamic, exciting, effective fitness system! The
routines feature aerobic/fitness interval training with a combination of
fast and slow rhythms that tone and sculpt the body.
Zumba
utilizes the principles of fitness interval training and resistance
training to maximize caloric output, fat burning and total body toning.
It is a mixture of body sculpting movements with easy to follow dance
steps.
HISTORY: Celebrity fitness trainer "Beto" Perez stumbled
upon the concept of Latin inspired fitness in his native country of
Colombia (South America) in the mid 1990's. One day, he walked into
his class and realized that he had forgotten his aerobics music, and his
only option was to grab whatever tapes he had in his car. Beto’s
tapes were comprised of the songs that he loved, the traditional Latin
salsa and merengue music with which he had been raised. But it was a
challenge to improvise a whole class on the spot using non-traditional
aerobics music. Beto rose to the challenge and from this last-minute
improvisation was born a revolutionary fitness program –
Zumba!
The class soon became the most popular class at his fitness facility.
