 Introduction
One of the most well-known fitness companies in the
world, Zumba offers more than 200,000 class
locations across 180 nations. Although the
company's iconic "Zumba" Latin dance fitness class
is the brand's best-known product, it also offers a
variety of other workout options, including water
aerobics, kid's fitness classes, strength training, and
kid-friendly fitness classes.Zumba's most well-known
and popular program is its namesake class, Zumba.
This dance class features high- and low-intensity
intervals that help improve cardiovascular fitness
while also enhancing balance, coordination, agility,
and to some degree, strength through the application
of beginner-accessible choreography.
History/Founder
Zumba was officially founded in the
United States in 2001 by Alberto "Beto"
Perez, a Colombian dancer who started
the fitness class in the '90s in his home
country. Perez's "rags to riches" story
could be considered serendipity—he was
teaching an aerobics class at his local
gym when he realized he'd forgotten his
usual music.In 2000, Perez decided to
launch his fitness class in the United
States. In 2001, he partnered with two
investors and released a series of three
Zumba DVDs available through an
infomercial.
Aqua Zumba
This high-energy aquatic workout
fuses South American Zumba rhythm
and dance steps with a pool party.
Aqua Zumba gives participants all the
benefits of a challenging, fun, body-
toning workout – in the water! Reduce
stress, improve blood circulation, and
tone your body with this fun and
engaging session.
Zumba Gold
a lower-intensity version of the
typical Zumba class and was
designed to meet the anatomical,
physiological and psychological
needs of seniors. Perhaps Zumba
Gold will provide a suitable option
for older adults seeking alternative
means of reaching their exercise
goals.
Zumba Kids
a popular class that combines elements
of dance and aerobics. With their
favorite music accompaniment, kids
learn to move, listen to the rhythm,
exercise their bodies, and improve
their health. Zumba benefits their
physical growth, also protects from
many problems associated with a
sedentary lifestyle.
 It’s fun.
The more you enjoy your exercise routine, the more
likely you are to stick with it. Many people say they
have so much fun dancing that they forget they are
actually exercising.
Tones your entire body
You may feel sore in places you never knew existed,
but it gets results. Zumba targets lots of different
muscle groups at once for total body toning.
Great for weight loss
Zumba is a powerful exercise with a 600
to 1,000-calorie burn in just an hour.
Boosts your heart health
You not only get aerobic benefits (it really gets your
heart rate up), you also get anaerobic benefits – the
kind that help you maintain a good cardiovascular
respiratory system.
 Helps you de-stress.
Turning your attention to dance, and away from the daily grind,
is a great way to relieve stress. Studies show that exercise is very
effective at reducing fatigue, improving alertness and
concentration, and enhancing overall cognitive function.
Improves coordination
In Zumba, your arms and legs are generally moving in
different directions so it requires a good deal of
coordination. Repeated practice improves coordination
and helps you feel more comfortable moving your body.

Makes you happy

Every time you exercise, you release endorphins,
which trigger positive feelings throughout the
body.
 DISADVANTAGES:
Lacks Strengthing and Flexibility
Components

The literature is clear that Zumba can provide

cardiovascular benefits, but the jury is out on
whether there are significant benefits to flexibility
and strength. Unless you're taking Zumba classes,
such as Strong by Zumba, that expressly
incorporate strength-training moves as a primary
component of the workout, you shouldn't view
Zumba as a well-rounded general fitness class.
In addition to taking two to three Zumba classes a
week, you may also want to add a few strength
training and flexibility activities to your schedule.
Consider trying a 30-minute strength circuit
followed by a 10-minute stretching session on days
you're not doing Zumba.
Zumba brand has gone out of its way to
developing programs designed for all
audiences and age levels, offering varying
levels of intensity and challenge to reduce
the risk of potential injury.Zumba is
considered a generally safe fitness activity,
but because all physical activity carries
inherent risk, you should consider your
physical health before diving into a
program. Make sure to wear shoes that will
allow you to slide.
If you're brand-new to dance
choreography, don't overdo it and push
yourself too hard. Give yourself time to
master the movements at your own
pace. Moving quickly or without
coordination can lead to an increased
risk of injury. The critical thing to
remember is to ease yourself into a
program and to listen to your body,
taking rest when you need it.
