Zumba is a fusion of upbeat hip hop music and energetic cardio dance moves that makes you lose weight in the blink of an eye! This toning workout is more of a “fitness-party” than a group workout. In Zumba, you do intense cardiovascular exercises that help you build your stamina, improve your heart health and lose weight all at once. It consists of an hour-long session in which you lose about 500-600 calories. Whether you choose to get enrolled in Zumba classes in your nearest fitness club or simply follow Youtube tutorials online and get your groove on at home is entirely up to you!
Our favorite celebrities and singers such as Jennifer Lopez, Jackie Chan, Pitbull, Madonna and Bipasha Basu, too, indulge in Zumba in order to stay in shape.
