Zumba dance or Zumba body dance was born randomly by Petto - Perez, an Aerobic coach from Colombia. From the same homeland as Latin American dance but probably appeared later in the mid-20th century, Zumba has more diverse and new combinations. The name Zumba does not have any special meaning but is just arbitrarily chosen as a brand name.

If you don’t have time to go to the gym because your work schedule doesn’t match the gym’s hours, you can still practice Zumba at home with the right instructional clip. All you need is the determination to practice.

Here are the benefits of Zumba dancing:

1. Burn fat effectively

According to many studies on Zumba conducted in the UK, the US and several other European countries, Zumba is one of the sports that helps practitioners burn the most excess calories.

On average, you will burn about 500-700 calories in an hour of Zumba, depending on your age, gender, and height and weight index. This is a great effect of this dance because normally other forms of sports only help you burn from 300-500 calories in an hour.

2. Slim waist

The hip shaking, body shaking, and abdominal crunches combine the arms and legs with strong intensity. These movements help the body become firm and flexible; the arms, waist and legs will become slim.
