If you like what you have read here and want to learn how to find a class to start having fun weight loss with Zoomba, get started by:
1. Going to the zumba.com website and finding a class. Look for classes that work with your schedule. Finding classes that meet during times that work with your schedule, the less excuse you have to miss one. Commit to the classes and don’t stray too much from regular attendance. The more the classes become part of your lifestyle, the more you set yourself up for success.
2. If you are shy and/ or do not want to go by yourself, find at least one person to go to classes with you, or befriend someone in the class. This will help you hold yourself accountable. Set goals for how often you and the others will attend, and help one another reach goals together.
3. Dress the part. Wear comfortable, unrestricting clothing and a decent pair of athletic shoes, like running shoes or cross trainers, to every class.
Some of the moves you may learn as part of your class will go like this:
1. The Merengue – March in place and bring your knees toward your body with each step to do the merengue step. This will strengthen your lower abs and quadriceps.
2. The Cumbia Step – Balance on one foot, rock on the ball of the foot as if rolling on a ball, and spread out your arms to assist balance. This cumbia step improves balance and strengthens the obliques. Keep your back straight to ensure you make best use of your lower ab muscles.
3. The Salsa – Step back and forth in count to do the salsa step. Moving forward and backward utilizes the quadriceps, buttocks and hamstrings. Pointing your toes, flexing your legs and doing lifts strengthen the calves. Holding hands with a partner builds your upper body muscles, biceps and lower back.
4. The Reggaeton Step – Bend your knees to a comfortable position with your legs shoulder width apart to begin the reggaeton step. Step to the right, bring your left foot to touch your right, and reverse the motion for the left foot. Bend your torso from left to right in conjunction with your foot movements.
As you bend, flex your stomach and breathe normally. This step strengthens your obliques, hips and quadriceps. Bring your arms above your head and swing from side to side with your torso to enhance the step. Tighten your shoulders and biceps to tone as you move.
