Are You Ready To Party Yourself Into Shape!?

  dance fitness-party.

  joy and health.

Zumba History

• Alberto "Beto" Perez was the founder of this
  happy accident.
• Zumba was created and started in 2001 and since
  then the Zumba program has grown to become the
  world's largest and most successful
  dance-fitness program.
• Zumba has more than 14 million people of all
  shapes, sizes and ages taking weekly Zumba
  classes in over 140,000 locations across more
  than 150 countries.

The Original Fitness Party

• As a fitness instructor in his native Cali,
  Colombia, Beto's life took an unexpected turn one
  fateful day in the mid-'90s when he darted off to
  teach an aerobics class and forgot his
  traditional aerobics music. He improvised using
  his own mix of music from tapes he had in his
  backpack (salsa and merengue music he grew up
  with).
• Spontaneously he created a new kind of
  dance-fitness, one that focused on letting the
  music move you (instead of counting reps over the
  music). Energy electrified the room people
  couldn't stop smiling. His class loved it! And on
  that day, a revolutionary new fitness concept was
  born the Zumba Fitness-Party.

Its Not Only Fun, But Also Hits The F.I.T.T

Frequency

• Frequency means how often we engage in the
  exercise or workout. Frequency is one of the most
  important principles, as it can determine whether
  we have a higher or lower probability of
  suffering from a chronic disease. Research has
  shown that although the health recommendation is
  to engage in at least 150 minutes of
  moderate-intensity exercise each week, those
  minutes spread out throughout the week are BEST,
  as it has been shown to decrease the chance of
  mortality and morbidity.
• WHAT??
• It just means spread out the minutes of exercise
  throughout the week. Take enough rest to let the
  body heal, but engage in enough exercise so the
  body can make adaptations. Pretty much, no
  exercise BINGEing sessions!
• Best frequency for cardiovascular exercise 3-5
  sessions / week
• Best frequency for resistance exercise (weight
  training) 2-4 sessions/ week

9
Intensity

• Intensity means the amount of effort that should
  be invested in a particular exercise or workout.
  How hard we work! There has to be a balance
  between working the body intensely enough to
  allow for the body to achieve adaptations (and
  get stronger, fitter, sexier, etc.), with
  allowing the body adequate rest and not pushing
  the limits beyond its capacity.
• Cardiovascular exercise  measure HR maximums to
  determine where the 75-90 intensity is best.
  Take 220- your age. That number equals the
  approximate maximum heart rate (maxHR). To work
  at a high intensity, take .75-.90 x maxHR.
   Moderate exercise would be 45-65 of heart rate
  max (or .45-.65 x maxHR).
• Resistance exercise workload is the main
  measure of intensity.so number of reps, amount
  of weight lifted, number of sets, etc. This is
  VERY different for each individual!!

TYPE

• Type is whatever exercise or workout YOU want to
  do, and LIKE to do!
• It is SO important that we engage in workouts and
  exercise that is not only happy and healthy for
  our bodies, but that it is something we genuinely
  like to do!
• Thank goodness you are in Move Groove and love
  to dance (cardio), so doing Zumba, will be swag.
  Zumba is motivating, fun, and gets your heart
  rate up nice and high!
• Aerobic, Strength, Anerobic?

11
TIME

• Time is a very important consideration, as the
  body needs time to adapt, but too much of a
  good thing can be a very, very bad thing!! It
  vital that our bodies get exercise (um, hello
  chronic disease and obesity crisis!), but it is
  also vital that we dont go overboard.
• For cardiovascular exercise, it is best to get at
  least 20-30 minutes of moderate exercise daily.
  This could be a walk, ellipticizing, light
  swimming, or a light jog. It is not recommended
  to go above 60 minutes unless that person is
  highly trained, seeking to lose weight in a
  healthy manner, or training for an event. If
  were going to do cardio exercise above 60
  minutes (which is not a bad thing), make sure to
  take/consume plenty of water and good carbs.
• For resistance training, it is best to get at
  least 20-30 minutes 2-3/week. This allows for
  adequate time to work all the major muscle
  groups, and to allow for a day of rest in between
  sessions.
