Have you heard of ZUMBA?
I went to a class many years ago in a gym. The class was really popular and I had no clue what was going to happen. It was fun even though I felt a little lost but I never made it back to a class in the gym and got into other fitness routines like Powerlifting.
Oh, that’s a story for another day. Back to Zumba.
Zumba is dance fitness.
For All by All. When I moved to Ireland a few years ago I knew I needed to find a new gym or get into something fun and saw there was a Zumba class nearby.
I remember trying that years ago, how about checking it out. Well, my instructor was so welcoming and the class was so fun that it helped me feel good in my body again. I was so inspired that I became an instructor in 2019.
Zumba is one of my favourite self care tools I use throughout the week with many benefits. Myself and others have noticed that you are having fun and getting a good workout without realising it. In just an hour laughing and dancing with friends you are burning up calories, releasing endorphins, increasing strength and flexibility.
Do you know what else?
This improves your brain health as well. The increased circulation and oxygenation naturally helps but also remembering the steps and combinations for each song.
Plus the stress relief of setting down your problems, even for an hour, can have a huge impact on your whole attitude and strengthen your ability to face whatever comes next.
There is no wrong way to ZUMBA. Great news, as long as you are having fun and taking care of your body you are doing it right. This means anyone can join a class. It truly is For All By All. students and instructors come in all shapes, sizes and abilities. There is no judgement. No previous experience needed. You simply follow the teacher and adjust to your own needs.
I am teaching classes in person and on demand so we can connect anywhere in the world and dance together from the comfort of your own home. All you need is some space to move in front of your computer.
