Zumba Fitness – This Tha Song- Hip Hop
Describing the Zumba DVD Program
Zumba is an exercise program inspired mostly by Latin dance rhythms. It was originally created in the 1990′s in Miami by choreographer and dancer Alberto Perez. Initially he gave Zumba fitness classes in his own studios before joining up with entrepeneurs Perlman and Aghion. Together they began to produce and market a series of videos and dvd’s teaching the Zumba Fitness program. The dvd series includes levels from beginner to advanced or even the gold edition for seniors.
Today there are more than 25,000 Zumba instructors around the world and the hit Zumba Fitness DVD series is available in stores, on websites and by infomercials on tv.
What is Zumba?
Zumba is the latest craze in dance fitness. There are variations to suit any age or fitness levels. Even seniors get to burn off calories while having fun. It’s important to understand the basic principles of the program before starting so that you can get the most out of the workout.
Zumba fitness incorporates both hypnotic Latin music and easy-to-do moves that lead to a dynamic and effective workout program that will help you de-stress, have the greatest time and burn fat. The goal is to give individuals an entertaining time so they can consistently stick to a program and reach their health and fitness goals. Zumba fanatics get to have the long term benefits of the dance and exercise by doing body-energizing and muscle-pumping movements that are also very addictive.
The Principles
According to Alberto Perez, Zumba’s principles of resistance and fitness interval training enhances the use of calories and results in an overall toning and fat burning. It combines easy dance steps and movements the help to sculpt the entire body. The program itself is both fun and addictive and can be enjoyed alone by following the Zumba Fitness dvd program or in groups led by trained instructors.

Zumba uses both slow and fast rhythms so dancers get a variety of exercise. The music is mostly based on Latin dance and the fitness program takes steps from several dance styles including meringue, reggaeton, pop, cumbia, mambo, flamenco, rumba and calypso. Because Zumba fitness incorporates so much fun in the program it becomes addictive and individuals find themselves wanting to workout every day. This results in a very effective daily aerobic exercise routine.
The Blatant Truth on How to Flatten Your Belly
It can be frustrating to watch all those infomercials on tv telling you how easy it is to flatten your belly. You see lots of models or actors showing off their fabulous bodies and telling you they got that way by using whatever product it is they are endorsing. They make it look really easy to get a flat belly and six pack abs.
But is that what it’s like in the real world? It’s true that anybody can achieve a flat belly but in reality there can be a lot of factors involved and it does take an effort on your part. For some people it’s easy, others need to work really hard. There are lot of factors involved, some of them include gender, genetics, age, lifestyle and general health condition. Your basic body type naturally affects the shape of your midsection.
It’s important to realise that you need to do a range of exercises and control your diet to achieve and maintain an attractive flat belly. The simple fact is that to reduce your belly flat you need to burn off the fat around your midsection. You can target the musle groups in that area but unless you burn fat as well you aren’t going to see those toned muscles. Control the fat in your diet but you still need to eat some fats to remain healthy. Use cardio exercise like walking, running or swimming to burn off excess fat and more targettedd exercise like crunches and sit-ups to target your ab muscles.
Don’t just use one form of exercise for your abs because your body will adapt to it and it will be harder to get results. Try a different exercise each day, perhaps focus on central muscles one day, then do twisting exercises to work the sides the next day.
Some of the gadgets you see on tv may help in your exercise program, but don’t be fooled into thinking they are all you need. Anything that promises a quick fix might just sound to good to be true.
Getting a well toned flat belly does take some work but you can do it without expensive exercise devices. For more specific tips on diets and exercises to lose belly fat, click this link to read the Flat Belly Book.
