Not at all. My classes are for all ages with every ability level possible.  The nice thing about Zumba is you only work as hard as you want to.  Two people in the same class could do the same steps and one may not even break a sweat, while the other is drenched. You only get out of it what you put into it.  Can’t handle high impact? No problem, just freestyle and show your moves! Need a break? That’s cool too, just step out and take a drink of water and jump back in when you want.

Forget about that!  Everyone is too busy worrying about what they are doing to notice what you are up to!  Besides, coordination is simply one aspect of fitness. It’s something that needs to be trained just like strength and flexibility.  The good news? Coordination trains very quickly – give Zumba (or any other workout like STRONG Nation) a try for 10 classes and I promise your coordination will improve substantially.

The short answer – yes.  The long answer – as with any weight loss plan you will need to pair exercise with healthy eating in over to achieve long term weight loss. Many people have lost a considerable amount of weight doing Zumba, and lots who don’t lose weight at all. It's up to you to give all every class. Shy people burn less calories, so let yourself go every class!

Bring plenty of water and a towel (you will sweat!). Most importantly … bring your enthusiasm! Wear comfortable, workout type clothing that will allow you freedom of movement.

Depending upon your height, weight, age, and workout intensity level, you can expect to burn between 500 to 800 calories. Remember, shy people burn less calories!
