Shawnee's Weight Loss Challenge: Zumba Workout



Zumba is a Latin dance -inspired fitness program created by dancer and choreographer Alberto "Beto" Perez in Colombia during the 1990s. [1]

Zumba involves dance and aerobic elements. Zumba's choreography incorporates hip-hop, soca, samba, salsa, merengue, mambo, martial arts, and some Bollywood and belly dance moves. Squats and lunges are also included.

What I like about this video is that these are 'real' people. Anyone that knows me knows that I am FAR from a size 12 (let alone 2)and these ladies inspire me.

Well, I am off to our first lesson. Wish us luck - Black Rose is joining me so she can be ready for Rugby. It's been a long winter.

I figured if these ladies can do it, so can I. We had a GREAT time! Can't wait until next week's class.
