Zumba your way to better fitness

Looking for a fun way to get in a good cardio workout? Then Zumba might just be for you. Translated to English, Zumba means "fast," and that's a good way to describe this Colombian-born dance-style workout.
Participants in the class bump, grind, shake and spin to Latin music and work up a sweat in this 60-minute fun-filled work out. Enthusiasts say that they lose themselves in the workout and forget they're even exercising because they're too busy having fun. It's been said before that the best kind of exercise is the kind you love and will do on a consistent basis, and that may partially explain Zumba's popularity.
Up until now, Zumba's only been taught in gyms and dance centers, but the first Zumba Fitness center opened near Dayton, Ohio just last month. DVDs are available too, for those who want to shimmy in their living rooms. It seems even reality TV producer Mark Burnett (of Survivor fame) has gotten the Zumba bug, and is involved in undisclosed projects with the company. We're sure to hear a lot more about this international workout that's sweeping the country!
