Zumba combines cardio, muscular strength and endurance

Zumba Fitness is a workout that combines Latin-inspired international music with fitness movement.  

Zumba Fitness Instructor, Danielle O'Reilly, says the workout consists of merengue, salsa, cumbia, flamenco, French reggaetton, samba, and a variety of other dance styles from around the world.  

She says it's a unique workout that incorporates the components of fitness (cardiovascular, muscular strength, muscular endurance, and flexibility,) but most importantly - it's FUN!  This workout was created for EVERYONE - all ages and all fitness levels can participate in Zumba Fitness.
