It is a myth that one can only stay fit and healthy either with heavy workouts or a strict diet. If you are not a gym or diet person, then Zumba can be your saviour. Zumba dancing leads not only to losing sweat but also helps in losing balanced amount of calories and fats. Zumba gives you a calorie-burning cardiovascular workout in the atmosphere of a dance party. Latin dance moves are the basis for this fusion dance style, but movements from belly dance, hip-hop and reggaeton also feature in Zumba. Zumba helps in exercising your whole body, toning every muscle group, especially your back and abdominals. The dance moves also help to improve the flexibility and balance of the body. If you feel inhibited exercising with others, Zumba’s party-like atmosphere may help you loosen up and gain confidence. Here are a few ways to burn calories through Zumba.
Upwards and downwards movement:
The up and down movement will boost up your body making it warm and more energetic. This Zumba move will get all your glutes, hips, and thigh muscles firing up even more. The repetitive moves of situps, bending your knees and going back to the same position will effectively burn immense fats and calories. The school time punishment has become now an exercise for losing some carbs!
Booty Workout:
Apart from weight loss, shaping and toning the body are also some of the advantages of Zumba. Booty or lower body workout is one of the moves of Zumba that will help in burning some fats. Zumba moves have enough lower body movement to manage the figure.
Arm movement:
Zumba is all about having fun and joining the party, which is hard to do if you're stiff or self-conscious. Moving your arms will not just tone your hand and arms but also boost your energy cells. During the moves, be sure to fully extend your arm. With this move, boost your calorie burn and engage more muscles by maximizing your arm movements.
