“Ditch the workout, join the party!”  This is the popular slogan of Zumba® fitness, the Latin inspired, calorie-burning dance fitness party. 

It is a known fact that regular exercise has countless benefits, and Zumba® is no different.  The way in which this fitness program was formulated, ensures that certain health and well-being goals are met.  It not only assist in improving heart and lung function, weight-loss, endurance, coordination, flexibility and muscular strength, but dancing also improves your mental health. 

The interval training, with its upbeat music and choreography, is a full body work out and allows your body to release endorphins, also known as the feel good hormone.  These hormones assist with fighting depression, reducing anxiety, stress management, your overall demeanour as well as boosting your self-esteem.

The Covid-19 pandemic caused unexpected and excessive stress in our day to day routines.  We have been forced to deal with financial, social and health factors.  The fitness industry had to adapt to a new normal as well, and Zumba® instructors around the world started presenting virtual classes.  By offering classes on these platforms, participants are able to join a class from the safety and comfort of their own home, and for 60 minutes they can forget about the stressors that we have no control over.
