Zumba classes are offered through licensed instructors at health clubs and gyms in more than 60,000 fitness centre's located in 105 countries with a following of around seven and a half members. Zumba Fitness dvd's are also available for home classes. The dance routines use music based on Cumbia, Salsa, Merengue, Mambo, Flamenco, Chachacha, Reggaeton, Samba, Belly dancing, Hip hop music, Tango and other international music styles and forms.
Zumba Benefits
The Zumba workout provides excellent fitness benefits because its routines feature interval training sessions with fast and slow paced rhythms, and resistance training, which are designed to tone and sculpt the body while burning fat. Routines are choreographed - as in they follow a verse chorus pattern but the steps don't change immediately like in a other aerobic dance classes so you have a chance to actually get into the grove and burn loads of calories rather than trying to play catch-up all the time with an instructor!
Zumba Fitness on Kinect for the Xbox 360 is not about perfecting moves, but about energy and having fun. It has become one of the fastest-growing dance-based fitness workouts in the world and aside from being a great work out that gets your heart pumping and tones your whole body, it feels like a big dance party!
