If you're like me you want to exercise more and to get healthy.
But exercising is soooo much work and quite frankly I don't want to do it.
All the running up and down. And then push ups are just.. let not go there
But you do want to get in shape.
Well I found a solution in Zumba.
Zumba fitness is considered as a new exercise craze.
You use dance and music as your mode of exercise.
It's basically a party and a work out.
Studies have been don to figure out if zumba is as effective as good old fashion running
One such study was led by Porcari and Mary Luettgen, M.S., researchers from the University’s Department of Exercise and Sport Science.
Their study is published on Ace Fitness.org
And they found that "Zumba fitness is also a fine choice for those who are looking to drop a few pounds or maintain their current weight levels."
"It’s a total-body exercise—a good, high-energy aerobic workout,” explains Dr. Porcari. “Zumba fitness is also good for core strengthening and flexibility gains because there are lots of hip and midsection movements.”
Ace Fitness also says "In comparison with other exercises tested in the past by the University’s Department of Exercise and Sport Science, Zumba burns more calories than cardio kickboxing, step aerobics, hooping and power yoga ."
So next time you think about working out and it sounds like a bore
Don't exercise have a party! A ZUMBA PARTY!!!!!
Don't believe me? Watch the video of my flatmates and I :D
