Zumba Music: My Little Guide to Zumba Songs

What is Zumba Music?

The great thing about zumba music (the music used in class) is that it can be traditional and modern. This is one of the reasons I love Zumba. When Zumba first started it was nearly all latin style music, but instructors now use other tunes including chart music and hip hop. In my opinion this is a really fantastic way to motivate and inspire people during class.

Most Zumba instructors will keep 70% of the music they use in class international rhythms (like latin style music) and mix up the other 30% with more modern zumba…

Zumba Wear: What I Wear When I get my Zumba on..

If you haven’t guessed I loooove Zumba! from the hot music to the sizzling moves, to the way it makes my body feel. But before I took my first Zumba class, I stood in my closet in a bit of a panic.

What is the best Zumba DVD?

Life gets pretty hectic sometimes, which means I don’t always have the time to get to the gym after work or whilst the kids are out of the house. It’s often easier to sneak a bit of exercise in at home! Gym membership is also a bit of a luxury that not everyone can afford, especially whilst we’re all tightening our belts, so if you don’t have time or don’t have access to get to your local gym or community centre it is still possible to lose weight, have fun and get great some exercise at home.

Fitness DVD Likes: My Top Five fitness DVDs

My “get fit in 2011” New Year’s resolution is still hanging on, thanks mostly to:

a) a (skinny no matter what she eats) good friend who asks me about my workouts all the time,
b) the stack of fitness dvds that I ordered on December 31 (deciding that I could indulge all I wanted that night if the dvd’s were on their way/coming to the rescue!).

I find a good fitness dvd is uber-convenient (whenever, wherever, in whatever I happen to be wearing at the moment), affordable, and I’ve been thrilled with the variety – I hadn’t done a…
