Zumba for active agers!

We’ve just recently added Zumba to our class schedule at the studio and we wanted to fill you in on why we love it so much!  Probably the number one reason we love it is that it is an amazing, safe workout for active agers of all ages.  Not sure what exactly an active ager is?  Read our definition below!

Active Agers:  Someone well past their 20’s who has realized that fitness and movement is not just something we do to fit into our favorite jeans…but that it is essential as a health tool in our life.  Active agers want to keep moving well so they can do all of the amazing things they want to do in their lifetime.  Active agers want their movement time to be effective and enjoyable and they don’t want to get hurt while doing it!!

So what’s so great about Zumba for active agers?  Here’s our favorite reasons:

1. It’s fun!  Yep that’s our number one reason!  We believe that if your movement time is fun you are more likely to keep doing it!  What could be more fun than listening to some great music and dancing?
2. Everyone can do it!  Our instructors teach you the dance moves and give options for every fitness level.  We love this because we know that everyone is safely getting their heart rate up, doing some great overall strengthening for their body and they are not going to get hurt doing it!
3. It’s functional!    Dancing has your body moving in a variety of planes of movements, just like how you move in your daily life.  It’s great “moving in your life” training!
