Exercise in disguise. That’s what a Zumba Fitness class brings to the table. The 60 minute workout incorporates salsa, merengue, cumbia, reggaeton and other contagious rhythms from across the globe. Participants leave feeling both sweaty and happy -- and they get results.
Education specialist for Zumba Fitness LLC, Julie E. Kelly, who has been involved in the fitness industry for more than 30 years says, “I have taught various formats in my career, but teaching Zumba Fitness classes and conducting Zumba Fitness trainings for future Zumba instructors is the most fun I have had as a fitness professional.”
An hour long Zumba class can burn anywhere from 500 to 1,000 calories depending on the level of intensity. "It’s a great form of cardio, and if you take classes often you can really achieve great results. Participants can see dramatic weight loss as they burn fat and work the major muscle groups," Kelly adds.
