Zumba is the new way to get in shape and have fun doing it! Zumba was created by Alberto "Beto" Perez, and which first started out as just dance classes, has now turned into Zumba available on DVDs, Xbox, Wii and PS3. Zumba is a Latin inspired dance-fitness program that has upbeat music to keep you going while you are getting in shape and toning your muscles. Zumba is for men, women, children and can be done by any shape or size.
The Zumba classes feature exotic rhythms that go with high energy Latin and Italian beats. There a few different types of Zumba classes available.
