Zumba fuses Latin rhythms and easy-to-follow moves to create a one-of-a-kind fitness program. Zumba encourages people to WANT to work out, to love working out, to get hooked. The routines feature interval training sessions where fast and slow rhythms and resistance training are combined to tone and sculpt your body while burning fat. It incorporates Latin dances such as merengue, bachata, salsa, other fusion used is hip-hop, reggaeton, bellydance, samba.

You can burn anywhere from 400-1000 calories depending on how much energy you put into the class. I have never recorded how many calories I burn but I know that I and the ladies in my class all come out drenched in sweat! They express to me how much the love coming to my class and even on days that they are tired! Zumba gives you energy and makes you feel good about yourself. You should definitely try a class. Zumba instructors are all certified and go through the same training but they do vary in the sense that some instructors are more Latin orienented (like myself) or some liek more hip-hop. You can try different Zumba instructors till you find the one that's for you!

There are many weight-loss success stories, but these people do Zumba 3-5x's a week. You just need to put the energy into it and I am sure you can burn tons of calories per class.
