Is Zumba good for weight lose?

The perfect combo of fun and fitness have made Zumba classes a world-wide phenomenon.  Over 15 million people are taking a Zumba class around the world.

Zumba gives you a calorie-burning cardiovascular workout in the atmosphere of a dance party.

If you dance Zumba for one hour a day and eat 500 calories a day less than you need to maintain your weight, you should lose 2 pounds weekly or 8 pounds a month. This is a fast, but healthy rate of weight loss. Losing weight any faster means you’re losing muscle instead of fat.

Benefits of Zumba

Interval training, which is cardiovascular exercise that alternates between periods of high- and moderate-intensity activity, helps you burn more calories than moderate-intensity activity alone. Zumba involves both fast and slow dancing, so it works like interval training. Zumba works your whole body, helping tone every muscle group, particularly your back and abdominals. The dance moves may also improve your posture, balance and flexibility. If you feel inhibited exercising with others, Zumba’s party-like amosphere may help you loosen up and gain confidence.
