    Zumba: The Timeless Exercise

    Are you a dance savvy? Do you want to lose unhealthy fats or simply wants to enjoy dancing while
    enjoying at your own pace? A new trend in the world of exercise has these answers to the latters with
    extra points in giving health benefits.

    Zumba has been defined as an exercise for all ages. Its timelessness denotes its high potential in
    engaging the young and those persons young at heart. Undeniably, today zumba has also been labeled
    as dancercise that everyone is getting into because of its substantial role in keeping healthy lifestyle.

    As it was popularized in Spain, Zumba means “buzz like a bee.” This common term exactly reflects on its
    global motto “Ditch the Workout” for it incorporates different kinds of music, dances and exercises like
    Latin dance, Aerobic exercises, Hispanic music, Latino music and a mixture of pop music. With this
    incorporation of music and dances, it paves its way to traverse to generations to the other without
    compromising its entertainment value and health benefits. Further, the study, released by Ace Fitness
    Research entitled Zumba: Sure It’s Fun but is it Effective? by Luettgen, M. et al. (2012) suggests that
    zumba does not only gives fun but it is an effective workout. The study reveals that the participation of
    an average age- person in every zumba workout could burn 365 calories. Surprisingly, as the bottom line
    goes, the study has established that frequent zumba exercise could also exceed the calories burn in an
    ordinary cardio- kickboxing and power yoga.

    Zumba, in the other sense as it involves dancing that totally requires physical activity, does not require
    exact stepping or executions done by the coach or instructor. It only asks for physical movements just
    like dancing at the parties or in the clubs.

    Physical activities enable the person to keep himself fit and healthy. With the involvement of the
    convincing groove of the music and the free will to be move, zumba speaks of truth as on the of the
    fitness activities. The emergence of the study of Suri, M. et al. (2017) entitled Physiological Responses of
    Zumba: An Overview Understanding the Popular Fitness Trend, Zumba has reached a certain level of
    convincing benefits to physiologic, endocrine, cognitive and psychological state of individuals who
    engage with it. The study shows the following effects of Zumba:

    A. Zumba and its Effect to the Nervous System


    Dance is the key term in zumba. Hence, coordination and synchronization are things
    that constitute the value of movements though proper execution is not necessarily required in
    dancercise. These things make the brain works as through music, the reward system or the sensory
    motor system is pleasurably activated that brings proper and better neural connections.
    B. Zumba and its Effect to the Endocrine System
    Through zumba exercise, the endocrine system responses with proper activation of the
    sympathetic system. With this, it leads to the development of the growth hormones.
    C. Zumba and its Cognitive and Psychological Effect
    A lot of studies suggest that energetic dance class increases the quality of life and
    manifests better psychological well- being and alleviate sports related barriers.

    In all aspects, Zumba has the great impact in the continuum of life by which in proper
    exploration the benefits are more than what one asks for.
