“Before attending my very first Zumba class, I had limited motivation to go to the gym, I was at 285 pounds (128 kg) with health issues. When I began my Zumba journey, I lost 110 pounds (54 kg) in just 2 years of Zumba dancing, without any special dieting or crazy pills. Yes! I am another living example that Zumba does work. Ever since then I have been trying to spread the passion for dance and music with it. Zumba is my passion: It’s not a business for me. It isn’t my livelihood. My motivation behind teaching Zumba is purely for passion!” – Livia

What is Zumba and what are the benefits?
Zumba fitness is predominantly considered a fitness format that improves participants ‘ cardiovascular health. There are toning elements and muscle conditioning included in the choreography (e.g. Squats, lunges etc). The class, just like any other fitness class, consists of a warm-up section, a toning section, a peak cardio section and then varied rhythms are played for fun and to change the heart rate. Zumba includes both dance and aerobic elements, which makes the benefits of Zumba plentiful.
Is Zumba beginner-friendly if I don’t have prior dance knowledge?
