Exciting News!! Read all about it!!

In April we featured a post on Zumba, we gave an overview of the program, but didn't go too deep. Well since that time, a lot has happened in regards to our involvement in the Zumba world. Our editor Lauren has caught the Zumba bug, and has taken lots and lots of classes. Zumba came naturally to Lauren because of her extensive dance background, both taking and teaching classes. With a growing passion for Zumba, and support from her family, and friends, she has recently received her certification and now is a certified Zumba Instructor. Now that
we have a Zumba ambassador in house we wanted to
revisit the topic of Zumba and the many benefits it can offer
everyone and anyone!!

Zumba is a fitness brand and company, founded in 2001. Zumba classes are offered in 185 countries around the globe, because really we really don't need to know the language to dance. Zumba was really founded by accident. Beto Perez the founder, was a group fitness teacher, that turned one of his classes into a dance party. After that first class, his students wanted to do it again and again. Zumba is often referred to exercise in disguise, because you are getting a complete total body workout, but it feels like a party. Now I'm sure you are thinking how do you lose weight dancing around, and there have been those individuals at the gym who have watched and laughed at those in Zumba class. But I invite those naysayers to take just one Zumba class, and I know they will see the benefits, and fall in love. Zumba is intense (usually 45-60 min) workout where you sweat, and party, and the results are unbelievable. Some Zumba participants have seen some crazy awesome weight losses, 100, 60, 45 pounds, all from having fun!!

Zumba is available for everyone, Men, Women, kids and babies. Zumba has customized programs for Older Adults, called Gold that is geared to keep our older generation active and health. Zumba also has a program for children ages 4 to 7, called Zumba Kids and Zumba Kids Jr. And Zumba even has a program for the little ones called Zumbini for babies, these programs for babies and kids, get them started on the right foot with fitness, showing that its fun and beneficial and they will hopefully lead a health and fitness lifestyle through out their lives. You can be at any health and fitness level to go to Zumba, and you can take it at any pace depending on that level. Zumba is a no judgement zone, so come however you are, and enjoy the party!

In November Lauren will be starting a kids Zumba program, and is hoping to add a few classes for adults too. Stay tuned for all the class details as they come.
