Zumba

Zumba classes offer an energetic, dance-infused workout that almost anyone can do. With lively and upbeat international music, paired with latin-inspired aerobic dance moves, Zumba can get your heart pumping—but you might be having too much fun to notice.

A typical zumba dance workout is about 45 minutes to an hour long, and starts with a warm-up that progresses to high- and low-interval training, followed by a cool down. Expect your zumba class to focus on cardio-building through easy-to-follow dance choreography and aerobic movement. It’s common to find many different types of zumba dance workouts—both online and in studios—depending on what you’re looking for. Here are a few things to know if you’re just getting started.
