Zumba® is a fitness class that has garnered quite a bit of attention. The class uses Latin music combined with enjoyable dance moves to create an interesting workout experience. Many are enamoured with Zumba's many benefits.

Calories Burned
Zumba® classes usually last about an hour. According to zumbacize.com, in a single class a participant can burn about 600 to 1,000 calories.

Fun Workout
Considering Zumba's lively music, laid-back atmosphere and easy dance steps, it is more of a good time than an exercise class---an incredibly fun workout.

Increased Happiness
After a fun workout like Zumba®, people may feel more happy and relaxed than they would after doing an exercise they were not thrilled about doing. If someone looks forward to doing theworkout, it can be easier and more fun to get through.

Simple Steps
Zumba® steps are simple enough for most people to master. There are a very limited number of steps per number, so the choreography is not so complicated that the participant has to concentrate on doing them at the expense of enjoyment. Those who want to try fitness or dance classes but are not adept at mastering choreography can likely do well with Zumba®.

Full-Body Workout
Zumba® works the entire body, including the arms and legs. It helps to strengthen the body's core and slim down body, all while doing basic moves.
