Leeettttsss Zumbaaaa!

If there's one workout that I'm enjoying right now, it has to be Zumba!

Zumba is a Latin-inspired dance fitness program which gives a total body workout while having fun and adding your own twist to every step. It consists of different dance types such as salsa, merengue, cumbia, and many more. It is not just a cardio exercise since they also have Zumba Toning which focuses on shaping your muscles with the help of Zumba toning sticks. Zumba is safe for all ages.

I downloaded the Zumba DVD before but since I was inclined to table tennis back then, I wasn't able to try it. But thanks to my sister, who is also my fitness buddy, she tried Zumba and invited me to give it a try. And what's my feedback for my first session? Wow! I was sweating like crazy! Even after the dance, it won't stop! I barely noticed its 45-minute duration since I was enjoying the whole time. I am not a dancer but if you keep doing Zumba, you'll learn how to! Just like me. Lol. But it's true. After two more sessions, I got used to the steps and I am now focusing on improving my form while doing it. If I catch the Zumba classes at Gold's Gym, I never fail to join since they mix the steps and use modern music.

If you want a total body workout without the machines but pure enjoyment, try Zumba! It's definitely worth it! :)
