Zumba – It’s an exercise, not a disease.

That’s right. It’s the exercise craze extraordinaire known as ZUMBA. (Not to be confused with Zuska disease – that would not be a fun craze to jump on the bandwagon for.)
Did you know?

ZUMBA: (According to Wikipedia) is a Latin dance inspired fitness program created by dancer and choreographer Alberto “Beto” Perez in Colombia during the 1990s.

Now that we have the basics out of the way, what do we really know about this “Zumba”?

SURE, we know that ladies love it. Need an excuse to shake your hips vigorously to a hip-hop/salsa beat? Zumba’s got you covered. Always wanted to shimmy those arms with careless abandon and call it a workout? Zumba does that too. Want to look cool while working out?

This is cool... right?

Maybe Zumba isn’t the best choice, then.
As an alternative, MMA fighting is probably an awesome workout and totally looks cool… just don’t die.

Regardless of it’s flaws, Zumba is an effective cardio workout that allow it’s participants to shake the crap out of their worries and into a slimmer figure.

Shake. It. Girl.

This is why Zumba is here to stay.
