Increased your self esteem. You will feel good that you are doing something healthy for yourself and for your appearance.  You will look better due to the weight loss and people will notice and admire you for it, which will increase your confidence.

Your physical appearance will improve, it's only natural! Your muscles will tone up, and you will glow from the exercise. Not to mention you will be much healthier. The average American does no where near the amount of exercise needed to maintain a good standing with their heart, lungs, and overall wellbeing. Get off the couch and start being active, with Zumba.

Zumba takes advantage of a little-known scientific phenomenon known as HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training).

Here's how it works: Your workout is broken up into intervals, at least 10-15 per workout. Each of these intervals is high intensity, requiring your heart rate to get up the previously mentioned goal for maximum fat burning, 85% and up, of your maximum heart rate. In between each of these intervals, you do a cool down period, but only a short one. This cool down allows your body to re-energize and prepare for the next interval.

This allows you to go longer, work harder, and burn more calories! The ultimate formula for healthy and fat burning exercise!

They don't advertise it as being HIIT, but that's exactly what it is, and people get amazing results because of it. Also, because the dances and music are so FUN, you will be eager for your next Zumba session. Being addicted to the most healthy form of exercise is a recipe for success!

I hope you have learned something about Zumba, and I look forward to seeing you in class one of these days! Check out a great site I found with links to Zumba products.  Zumba Website.
