Dubai

Zumba is a dance cum fitness routine, which has
proven to be extremely beneficial for health. No
doubt, zumba is emerging as a popular form of
physical activity among the youth of Dubai. Most
gymnasiums and fitness centres in the city
conduct zumba classes with the help of trained
professionals.

One can join those classes not only for fitness
related benefits but also to spend some exciting
time with friends. A zumba routine after a busy
schedule helps in destressing the mind and fills
one with newfound energy.

However, a few people are reluctant to join zumba
classes when they hear instances of minor
injuries during some sessions. But, the fact is,
such injuries can easily be avoided with little
caution. Here are five tips to avoid injuries
during a zumba session.
5
Get the right instructor
First of all, you should never undermine the
importance of an instructor for a zumba dance
workout. When you decide to join any fitness
centre to practice zumba, you must enquire about
the instructors there. You should not join any
gym which does not have a trained instructor for
supervising the zumba dancers.

• Wear the right shoes

The shoes you wear while dancing plays an
important role in maintaining your posture and
movements. You should always choose the right
kind of shoes for zumba classes in Dubai. The
shoes must be comfortable and flexible enough to
facilitate the movements with ease.

Avoid crowded classes
The risk of injury usually comes into picture
when you sign up for a zumba class with too many
people in it. Dancing in close proximity might
cause injuries for obvious reasons. So it is
always advisable to choose a zumba class where
the number of trainees is at an optimum level.
Several dance classes in Dubai are keen on
attracting more and more trainees, but you must
insist on joining a class which does not have
more than 30 people.

• Drink adequate water

A common cause of injury during zumba workouts is
the sudden feeling of light-headedness due to
dehydration. This is the reason why one should
drink enough water to keep him or herself
hydrated for a couple of hours. Even while
dancing, if you feel light-headed, you must
immediately stop, sit down and gulp some water
down.

Stretch your body after Zumba
A thing most zumba trainees neglect is practicing
a few body stretches after a session of zumba.
Stretches help in reducing the muscular strains
experienced during the workout, and prepares you
for another zumba session on the next day.
Neglecting stretching exercises might cause body
pain while sleeping.
