Thursday I had the opportunity to spread the ZUMBA® love with some incoming freshman attending Cub Camp.
If you've heard all the "fuss" about Zumba, but don't know what it is - here's the official "definition" from zumba.com:
"The Zumba® program fuses hypnotic Latin rhythms and easy-to-follow moves to create a one-of-a-kind fitness program that will blow you away. Our goal is simple: We want you to want to work out, to love working out, to get hooked. Zumba® Fanatics achieve long-term benefits while experiencing an absolute blast in one exciting hour of calorie-burning, body-energizing, awe-inspiring movements meant to engage and captivate for life!"
Not one word of this is "false-advertising." Zumba® burns approximately 600 calories per hour (and I have a cardio watch to prove it). You can ask anyone that attends our classes - it's a TON OF FUN! The hour goes by so fast you don't even realize it ... before you know it - it's cool-down time. I am warning you, though, it's highly addictive!! You quickly realize one class a week is not enough ... Zumba® leaves you craving more!
Zumba® is not to be confused as a "dance" class. It's all about fitness!! No prior dance experience is required (and I am proof of that).
So, you're curious now ... check out the two clips below for a small sampling of what Zumba® is all about.
