Zumba is the in thing and we feel it's here to stay. People like the idea that it projects – forget the workout, join the fun! The best part is that Zumba changes your body completely and much better han body sculpting, mind you! So whether you're a gym rat or a couch potato, it's suitable for all.
But very few people know that Zumba was actually discovered in an accident. I recently read it on a fashion website about it and started my research on it. While browsing through various lifestyle blogs, I fell upon the history of this new type of workout called Zumba. I like to call it dancercise! Turns out a fitness instructor who took aerobic classes came to the studio only to realize later that he had forgotten his music dvd back home. So he just put on whatever he could lay his hands on (apparently he had a mix of salsa and meringue) and that was the beginning of Zumba.
The class naturally enjoyed a lot more than what they otherwise did. It was a fun and welcome change. And soon this became a favorite way of working out and losing weight. The success of Zumba grew steadily as more and more Lifestyle blogs were writing about it and today there are an estimated 4 million Zumba enthusiasts and 25,000 instructors in 40 countries!
Barring any doctor's limitations this type of exercise is fit for people between a large range of ages. Mostly because the steps can easily be modified. All you need is a will to lose weight and of course a pair of good quality sneakers or kicks and your good to go! So are you planning to join the bandwagon or not?
