Zumba vs Yoga
Do you want to reduce your stress, improve your health, and get in shape? Are you unsure of what your options may be? Zumba and yoga are two popular fitness classes that you can take to have fun and get in shape. Choose yoga if you want to increase your flexibility and strength while burning fat, or choose Latin dancing Zumba for more focus on your cardio fitness. They are both beneficial in different ways, physically improving you as well as providing great health benefits.
Zumba is a fitness program inspired by hot Latin style dancing. The exercises include Hip-hop, Salsa, Mambo, and Samba. Zumba is a fast-paced and high energy workout for people who love to dance. Zumba workouts have a high-energy ''party'' feel to them which gives you that extra boost to get through the class. I remember the first Zumba class in which I ever set foot at Bailey's Powerhouse Gym. The instructor was so full of energy and the room was over flowing with girls and a few guys shaking their hips and laughing over pulsing Latin and hip-hop beats. When the first song started, I wondered what I had gotten myself into, and thought about how I could get out of this class quickly, but I decided to stick it out .When class ended, I walked out drenched in sweat with a smile on my face. I thought “that was the best workout class ever,” and I couldn't wait for the next Zumba class to begin. The class was 60 minutes of sweaty adrenaline fun. Working out could be both productive and fun. Zumba has made me start to view exercise as a hobby rather than a chore. Since that class two years ago, I've taken Zumba many times with many different instructors. I've taken some amazing classes that were fun, entertaining, and so enjoyable that I lost track of time. There also were some miserable classes with a poor instructor, no one is enjoying themself, and time lags in the longest hour of my life. Some advice for a beginner: if you try Zumba for the first time and hate it, take it again
