Zumba Classes Are Effective Cardio Workouts


As your body gets familiar to a particular piece of gym equipment or fitness routine, you may see that your weight loss begins to slow down. Figuring out a new alternative fitness routine that you like can be hard, and keeping to it can be even harder. But now there are Zumba Classes in Philadelphia for every fitness level at AFC Fitness centers.

For years, the Latin based aerobic dance and fitness workout Zumba has become one of the favorite exercise classes among gym members. All the rage in fitness centers and gyms in Philadelphia for its focus on fun, high energy fitness, a Zumba workout can burn calories, help you lose weight and tone legs and arms. Zumba classes fuse Latin music with dance rhythms to make exercise fun.

How many calories are burned in Zumba dance classes?

Zumba classes come in many levels, and calorie burn from a Zumba session depends on a person’s weight, fitness level and muscle development and strength. During an hour of a Zumba fitness class you can expect to burn anywhere from 250 to 550 calories or more depending on the intensity of your Zumba class and Zumba instructor level.
