Dance Your Way to a Healthier and Happier YOU!

Zumba! Here are 12 reasons to join the dance craze thats taking over the world. 

1.) The Huge Calorie Burn - a study not long ago in California on 12 Zumba participants, and the average number of calories burned was 817 in an hour," 
2.) Total Body Toning - During a Zumba class, you engage a ton of muscles, often (blissfully) unaware that you're incorporating traditional fitness moves like squats and lunges into your choreography. "It tightens and tones your body from head to toe,"

3.) It Keeps You Coming Back -Workouts that feel like work are hard to get excited about. But Zumba is so enjoyable you actually want to keep coming back. "It completely changes the idea of exercise because it's something you really look forward to,"

4.) Amazing Results- I've lost over 25 pounds -- and I was having fun. A lot of people wouldn't be going to the gym at all if it weren't for Zumba and the passionate instructors.

5.) It Works For All Ages- Zumba has a kids' program called Zumbatonic, designed to teach young dancers ages four to 12 about why it's good to be active and healthy. And you can start young, end old -- "I think the oldest person I ve seen is a 80 year old.

6.) Great Stress Release "I call it free therapy!"

7.) Can Be Adapted For Any Fitness Level- Whether you're just starting out with an exercise program or you're an old pro, you can still make Zumba be an effective and challenging workout.

8.) It Goes By Fast Class-goers swear you won't even notice an hour has gone by. How many weight lifters can say that?

9.) It's Social! Regularly attending Zumba classes is a great way to meet people. "You seem them every week and it starts to feel like you're just going out dancing with your friends,"  You can also bring your friends to the party -- I am working with Golds Gym and two of the Zumba Instructors to host a Zumba party for a girls night out, bachelorette parties and more.

10.) Gives You More Awareness Of Your Body -you'll be sore in places you didn't even know existed.

11.) You Can Always Find A Class-Whether you're on vacation, moving to a new city or just trying it for the first time, if you log onto the website you can find classes by zip code. And if you're somewhere where no classes are offered, there are DVDs available to help you keep your routine going strong.

12.) It Makes People Happy-A study that proved the whopping calorie burn also proved that Zumba puts participants into an endorphin-release zone. "It really does improve your mood! The music is so infectious and it's just so much fun,"
