ZUMBA! At The YMCA
Zumba is a Latin-inspired, dance-fitness class that incorporates Latin and international music and dance movements, which create a dynamic, exciting and effective fitness system.
The Zumba program is the most effective, innovated and exciting workout designed for everyone. What makes Zumba so unique and successful?
- It’s effective! Zumba is a cardio-based workout with components of resistance and sculpting training to tone the entire body and achieve any desired fitness goals.
- It’s easy! Zumba is designed for participants of any fitness level and every age. Zumba’s basic steps make it easy for everyone to start right away.
- It’s different! The music, the steps, the moves, the class, the feel… are like no other fitness class!
- It’s fun! Zumba is “Exercise in Disguise.” Participants are having so much fun, they do not realize they are exercising.
Check out a Zumba at a demonstration class on Monday April 14, 2008 from 6:30-7:30 at the Vermilion Family YMCA.
