For many of us, going to the gym is a chore. Not only is it awkward to sweat next to a complete stranger, but the monotony of the treadmill machine is boring. If you want to lose weight, but avoid the gym in the process, Zumba fitness is the ideal course for you. The Zumba class uses fast pace Latin dancing to help you move from out of shape to completely fit. Better yet, you can choose from attending a class or purchasing a DVD for your home.Originating in Colombia, the program started as an accident. Beto Perez was an aerobics teacher who came to his class unprepared. Improvising, Perez pulled the Latin songs from his bag and, since the music wasn’t aerobics inspired, the trainer created a brand new approach to working out; Zumba fitness. After the accidental course, Perez headed over to America, and the program became an even bigger success. Since 2001, when the course was officially founded, Zumba fitness is offered in 105 countries, and an estimated 7.5 million people participate in the program.Zumba fitness DVDs vary in price. If you purchase the Zumba Fitness Total Body Transformation set, you’re going to pay 69.95; however, it does come with four discs and two toning sticks. More budget friendly options include the Zumba Latin Dance Fitness set (49.99) or the individual DVDs; like Zumba Buns Thighs and Abs (20).Meanwhile, with 60,000 locales throughout the world, there’s bound to be a class offered nearby.
