Zumba is a wild fitness mixture for weight loss, which consists of elements of a variety of Latin American dances and, of course, the mood of an endless carnival. Fitness dance zumba was invented in Colombia, in the 90's. Further, the direction swiftly captivated the hearts of American women and europeans, because having fun in training, you do not notice that, in fact, you are training!
Type of training
Dancing in the zumba style refers to interval training: they combine the sharp transitions from fast, rapid movements to slow, smooth pas. Classes are held under the guise of gay dance parties, where it's not so important how technically you dance, the overall picture of the incessant movement is much more important.
Unlike other types of dances, improvisation is welcomed in the zumba, the coach even insists on it, they say, the main thing is to keep the rhythm, and as you turn with your hips this is the last thing.
For whom?
Dancing zumba, of course, created for weight loss, and this process is rapidly and imperceptibly. Zumba is simply created for you, if the usual fitness programs and aerobics have long been bored, you want something fun and incendiary. In principle, there are no age restrictions for zombies, although it is very important that your cardiovascular system withstand such a rhythm. If you feel that the heart is not yet ready for such a march-throw, start with slow, classical dances.
Fatigue

Zumba , in this case, is similar to swimming - in the water you do not feel neither fatigue nor the weight of your own body. Yes, there will be fatigue, but then, and before the next training you will forget about it. Also during the dance zumba: the occupation takes place in such a relaxed atmosphere that you forget that someone is training you and requires the right movements, you and the music is all that remains in your brain.
