The exercise phenomenon, Zumba, was born in Colombia when Alberto Perez forgot to bring the tapes (it was the 90s) for the aerobics class he was teaching. In a pinch, he used some salsa and merengue music instead and a workout craze was born. The latest incarnation is Aqua Zumba.
We all know exercise is part of a healthy lifestyle and most of us don’t do enough to stay fit. In the words of Alberto Perez, “Fitness shouldn’t be something that you dread, like the treadmill; it should be physically and emotionally rewarding.” So if you’re looking a new workout that’s tons of fun, try Aqua Zumba. You still move and groove but it’s low-impact and adds the challenge of water resistance. If you need more convincing, here are just a few of the ways Aqua Zumba classes should be in your future.
