Zumba

In honor of our New Years Resolutions, I am posting about my FAVORITE workout ever:

ZUMBA (the following is from my teachers (JP Santana) facebook page)

Zumba is an exciting and dynamic fitness program that allows you to dance your way to a happier and healthier life! Most people hate to exercise but everyone loves to party! Zumba has turned the exercise into a party! Set to a hot, heart pumping soundtrack, Zumba turns up the heat by combining sexy latin dance styles such as Cumbia, Salsa, Merengue, Reggaeton, and Samba with fun and easy to follow exercise movements. Warning! Zumba's high spirited energy is contagious! Participants are likely to get lost in the fun and burn some serious calories! People of all fitness levels and dance experience CAN and LOVE to Zumba! So we invite you to ditch the workout. This is one party you don't want to miss!.

Here is a video where my teacher, JP, is teaching the class (the man in red jumping all over the screen)



The following is a video that really captures the essence of Zumba



The third video is a show case of my teacher, JP, who is fantastic




So, if you know you need to start working out, but can't face the treadmill or the same old classes, give Zumba a try. It is TRULY addicting.

And the teacher in the 2nd video is right - you do start moving your hips/body in ways you didn't realize your body could move ;)
