What's Wrong With Zumba?
When I attend a fitness or dance class as a student, I have no choice but to also be observant as a teacher. It is my nature and my background that naturally come into play. So, I write this to share some of the basic things you can do to make sure you are getting a great workout, having fun and preventing injury!
I've been taking Zumba class for my dance workout lately and I love, love, love it! They say, its like a party, and you know what, they're right!
So, what's wrong with a party?
Zumba, like any new workout craze, is hitting town like a storm! It's drawing many people out to the gym and to the studio to take class. People are also using Zumba home dvd sets. It's getting people moving! This is all great. I love to see a program that facilitates healthy activity and movement!
However, what I caution is the safety of mass media fitness growing too quickly. When certifying to the masses, it is possible that few instructors may get through the course without a history of teaching experience or an in depth knowledge of technique. It is also possible that there will be so many students in a class that it is simply not possible for an instructor make corrections to every one at the same time. All instructors that I have taken class with are wonderful but they have been classes or 30 to 50 students!
I believe it is of the utmost importance that you as the student, educate yourself on a few of the basics and seek out the proper instruction. Because, the basic steps of Zumba are very easy to do, safe to execute, and Fun, Fun, Fun, just a few tips should have you on the way to self protection and prevention and enjoying your workouts
Here are a few tips for you to become your own advocate of body-safe fitness!
Seek out a good instructor:
- Do a little homework if you can before you take class with a new instructor.
- You can ask for their credentials and experience.
- You may even want to watch a class before you try it out, Although, I admit, that might be just a little torturous because you'll want to be in there with them!
- Try asking other students for their thoughts regarding the teacher and or the studio.
Self Aware Injury Prevention
If something doesn't feel good, don't do it! The old adage is "If it hurts STOP!" I can't tell you how many times I've heard of people pushing themselves too far during a workout and regretting it after the fact.
Listen to your body:
I believe our body gives us signals and signs. I believe that it is our responsibility to listen to and respect them. If you are experiencing an "off" day, do a self evaluation to determine what your body needs. Some days you may just be a little tired and you know deep down that the workout will energize you and make you feel better. Another day, you may decide that it's just going to be too much. Those are the days that you may suffer injury that could have been prevented. Just be careful not to use this as an excuse and started opt'ing' - out of the workout as a habit.
Over Use Injuries:
Our bodies need to heal after a strenuous workout. If you do the same repetitive exercise every day for a prolonged period of time, you can develop what is known as an over use injury. Be sure to vary your dance workouts with a day of active rest like walking, or a day with a weight training routine. As long as you diversify, this should not be an issue.
For more tips on how to implement your own technique for a safe and fun workout see my post for How to have FUN and keep your self safe in Dance Fitness Class at Dance Meets Fitness Blog.

The Class (DVD) $18.85 Winner of the Palme d`Or at the 2008 Cannes Film Festival, master French director Laurent Cantet`s THE CLASS is an absorbing journey into a multicultural high school in Paris over the course of a school year. Fran¿ois Begaudeau--an actual teacher and the author upon whose work the film was based--is utterly convincing as Fran¿ois, an openminded teacher in charge of a classroom of youngsters from a wide variety of backgrounds. Of course, the mere fact that he`s older and in a position of authority causes his students to challenge him on many occasions. Fran¿ois is stuck in the middle. In the teacher conferences, he butts heads with the harsher adults who don`t appear to have any sympathy for their students. In class, his attempts to be lenient and understanding are somehow misinterpreted and he finds himself arguing with the kids that he so clearly wants to help. As the school year progresses, tensions rise, until Fran¿ois finds himself in a position he never imagined he`d be in.Unlike his more formally written early films like HUMAN RESOURCES and TIME OUT, Cantet proves that he has an ability to work in a more improvisational manner. Shooting on HD and working with a cast of young non-actors, he allows THE CLASS to breathe, resulting in a fictional drama that has the spirit and energy of a documentary. His startlingly assured ensemble brings the new, culturally diverse France of the early 21st century to striking life. |
