Nowadays, going to the gym doesn’t only mean doing boring workouts that you keep repeating over and over again, there are some interesting alternatives that will keep you moving and sweating equally, if not more, all while having a blast! Of which, the famous Zumba. If you are not already practicing it you must have at least a friend or two that does, so if you wanna know more, stay with us as we will answer some of the important questions concerning Zumba!

What are the origins of Zumba?

Zumba, or as some like to call it “the happy accident”, came to life in the early 90s thanks to Alberto Perez, an aerobics instructor in Cali, Colombia, as one day after arriving at his class he realized that he forgot his music tape, so quick improvisation, he went and grabbed a Latin music tape he had in his car, as he is also a great Latin dancer, he ended up having his aerobics class with Latin music to which he also added some Latin dance moves! And that was the first, off records, Zumba class!

Is Zumba a workout or a Dance?

Let’s clear this misperception! Even though a lot of people think that Zumba is an actual dance style, you should know that it is actually a workout, a form of aerobics, that includes some dance moves with Latin and international music styles!

How does Zumba work?

As we explained earlier, Zumba is a form of aerobics mixed with some salsa, merengue, and other Latin dance moves, all while alternating fast and slow rhythms, which will get your heart rate up and boost cardio endurance while also enhancing balance, coordination, agility, and strength. We can sum it up as being a combination of cardio and strength training (and lots of fun of course!!).

What are the benefits of Zumba?

Workouts are generally good for your overall health, and Zumba workout is no different as it has both physiological and psychological benefits:

It is an amazing body weight loss workout as it will help you burn calories and tone up.
It targets your core, legs, and glutes.
It improves your coordination, as during your workout your legs and arms generally move in different directions, which requires good coordination, and with repeated practice it will definitely help improve your coordination and body movement.
It helps you reduce the tension, especially after a day of work and stress, there is nothing better than a good session of Zumba to forget all about it!
It helps lift up your mood, like any other type of workout or exercices, Zumba helps release endorphins, aka the happiness hormones, which are scientifically proven to increase feelings of pleasure and well-being and also to reduce pain and discomfort.
It also helps you socialize, as you know Zumba classes are usually conducted in groups, which is the perfect opportunity for you to get out of your shell and meet new people, all while having fun and burning some calories!

What makes Zumba so popular, is the fact that it feels less like a workout and more like dancing at a party and having fun with your friends! If you are around Montreal and still didn’t get the chance to try Zumba, you can take a look at Latin Groove’s offer of 7 classes of Zumba for only 37$!
