Re: Zumba

It's a type of aerobic class. Mostly Latin type music. Lots of hip movement and chacha kind of moves. Can include some hip hop too. There can be 60 - 70 women in the class (plus few men), all ages, all shapes and sizes. Many are not all that experienced dancers, but everyone seems to have a really good time at it. You can see people doing variable intenstities and modifications, but there is the opportunity to burn a ton of calories. I like it. It is a nice change and I welcome variety to my workouts.
