Pros and Cons


Overall, Zumba feels like a dance party disguised as a workout—which is exactly
what people love about it. Zumba is a safe, fun, and effective workout for most
people who want to enhance their cardiovascular fitness through dance. There are
very few drawbacks to the program, just general precautions you should be aware
of when starting any new workout routine.
The big advantage of zumba is that both women and men of different ages and
physical abilities can do it. If you think that to do dance training you should know
how to dance, zumba will show you that you the opposite. It is not difficult
creation, it is classical bodyweight exercise, that you simply practice with the music
on. There are several types of zumba, from aqua zumba workouts in the water or
zumba toning that includes weights for even more calorie burning and muscle
toning. There are also zumba workouts for children
Benefits of zumba workouts:

Already 60 minutes of intense zumba workout can burn an average


of 360 calories, which is almost as such as during 60 minutes of light
running on treadmill. Participants of one smaller studies burned an
average of 369 calories in 39 minutes of workout. Also, another studies
found out that aerobic fitness of participants was significantly improved
during 12-week zumba program. Zumba is therefore ideal workout
to burn fat, strengthen muscles and flexibility.
Benefits of zumba workouts:

Another important benefit of zumba workout is alternating of exercises


with high and low intensity during the workout, that significantly help
to increase heart beat and endurance. It is proven by a research which
showed that heart beat and systolic blood pressure was significantly
improved by people who took part in 12-week zumba program. Another
research found out that zumba workout by overweight women was
beneficial in reducing blood pressure and weight loss
Areas of focus:

Zumba like most of the dance exercises, is primarily focused on full


body. Movements can individually practice the core of your body, legs using squats,
jumps and lunges, abs and back.
