What Is Zumba?

A fitness company known for its Latin dance-based group classes

History of Zumba

Types of classes, how it works, disadvantages, safety considerations, how zumba compares.

Zumba is one of the best-known fitness organizations in the world, with more than 200,000 class locations available in 180 countries. And while the brand is best known for its signature "Zumba" Latin dance fitness class, the company offers several additional workout formats, from strength training to kid's fitness classes and even water aerobics classes.

Each workout involves highly choreographed movements set to upbeat salsa and international music. Essentially, Zumba is a fun, high-energy workout experience that keeps you excited to exercise and return for more.

Zumba's most well-known and popular program is its namesake class, Zumba. This dance class features high- and low-intensity intervals that help improve cardiovascular fitness while also enhancing balance , coordination, agility, and to some degree, strength through the application of beginner-accessible choreography.

You don't need any special dance skills to succeed in Zumba classes but those that have natural rhythm may pick up on the moves faster. Still, no one is keeping score, so just dance, let go, and have fun.

Classes typically consist of Latin-inspired songs, starting with a slower warm-up song, building intensity throughout the workout, and ending with a cool-down song. Even if you're not a strong dancer, the choreography is repetitive and designed to be built upon, so most people will catch on to the moves as they go.

Zumba was officially founded in the United States in 2001 by Alberto "Beto" Perez, a Colombian dancer who started the fitness class in the '90s in his home country. Perez's "rags to riches" story could be considered serendipity—he was teaching an aerobics class at his local gym when he realized he'd forgotten his usual music.

Why Is it Called Zumba?

Zumba is called such because of its similarity to the Cuban music genre rumba. Music is a big factor in these exercise classes, which the name brings to mind.

In 2000, Perez decided to launch his fitness class in the United States. In 2001, he partnered with two investors and released a series of three Zumba DVDs available through an infomercial.

The dance fitness concept wasn't new when Zumba rose to fame, but the high-energy fun of its classes was. Plus, Zumba's timing was ideal. In the early 2000s, large fitness centers, like 24 Hour Fitness and Lifetime Fitness were popping up everywhere, often including group fitness classes as a benefit of membership. These gyms were looking for unique classes to add to the draw of their clubs, and Zumba fit the bill.

Zumba tends to appeal to a predominantly female audience, but all are welcome. And because the choreography is more-or-less accessible even to those with "two left feet," people of all ages and dance abilities have flocked to the classes, especially during the peak of its popularity between 2005 and 2015.

As a result, the brand added numerous programs to make the class and choreography even more accessible to people of all ages, genders, and fitness levels. Classes include:

  • Aqua Zumba : Perfect for those with lower-extremity injuries or needing low-impact exercise, Aqua Zumba takes the Latin dance craze to the pool.
  • Zumba Gold : This modified version of the standard Zumba class is geared to an older audience that wants the same fun music and flair as a traditional class but performed at a lower intensity.
  • Zumba Kids : Designed for kids between 7 to 11 years old, Zumba Kids modifies and breaks down traditional Zumba moves, then adds games and activities to the class to keep kids engaged and interested as they break a sweat.
  • Zumba Kids Jr .: Similar to Zumba Kids, Zumba Kids Jr. is modified for the 4- to the 6-year-old audience and is positioned even more as a "dance party" to help keep this age group on "task."
  • Zumba Step : The same Latin-inspired dance choreography, but with the addition of an aerobic step to increase the intensity of the workout and add more leg-strengthening moves due to repeatedly stepping on and off the elevated surface
  • Zumbini : This once-a-week, 45-minute class is designed for the littlest Zumba fans between 0 and 3 years old; the little ones and their caregivers meet to bond over music and engage in age-appropriate active play; think less "workout" and more "learning experience."

As strength training classes gained popularity over the past decade, pulling people into CrossFit gyms and choreographed strength classes, the Zumba brand worked on adding more strength options to its repertoire as well, including:

  • Strong by Zumba : A high-intensity bodyweight training workout with movements choreographed to the beat of the music; pushups, squats, burpees, and lunges are staples of this routine
  • Zumba Gold-Toning : Just like Zumba Toning, but at a lower intensity level designed for a somewhat older audience
  • Zumba In the Circuit : Designed as a circuit, alternating between Zumba dance moves and strength training exercises for a full-body workout intended to improve cardiovascular fitness and muscular strength
  • Zumba Sentao : Uses a chair as a "dance partner" to focus on core strength without using weights.
  • Zumba Toning : Incorporates the use of Zumba Toning Sticks (or light weights) to add an element of strength training to familiar Zumba dance moves

Almost all Zumba brand classes are designed as 45- to 60-minute group exercise classes led by a Zumba-certified instructor. These are typically offered at gyms and fitness centers, although Zumba instructors are welcome to market classes on their own, hosting workouts at parks, schools, or other venues.

Zumba Basics

Classes consist of a series of Latin dance songs, each with highly choreographed dance movements that build on each other. The first song offers a slower beat to help you get warmed up, with each successive song building in intensity and challenge, with a few lower-intensity dance series built in for recovery. The workout wraps up with a cool-down song.

Between songs, you can grab water and take a second to catch your breath before the next song starts.

Schedules for Zumba are typically based on the gym or fitness center where classes are hosted. For cardio-based fitness classes like Zumba, it's ideal to get on a regular schedule and participating in at least two to three weekly classes.

Overall, Zumba feels like a dance party disguised as a workout—which is exactly what people love about it. Zumba is a safe, fun, and effective workout for most people who want to enhance their cardiovascular fitness through dance. There are few drawbacks to the program, just general precautions you should be aware of when starting any new workout routine.

Below are the benefits of Zumba class from physical to practical considerations.

Accessibility

Due to the program's widespread availability and the varied class style, Zumba as a brand is quite flexible and suited to almost all fitness levels and interests.

Even if your local gym doesn't offer Zumba classes, you may find that a nearby swimming pool offers Aqua Zumba or an independent instructor who provides classes with a pay-per-class structure at a nearby park.

How to Find a Zumba Class

Check online or call your local gym studios to find Zumba classes near you. It's a very popular class that has expanded to many locations.

General Fitness

Given Zumba's sustained popularity, many studies have been performed on the efficacy of the workout. One 2016 review of the literature found that Zumba was effective at improving aerobic capacity (cardiovascular fitness), while limited additional evidence pointed to possible enhancements to muscular fitness and flexibility.

Sustainability

One of the most critical factors in exercise is adherence—continuing the exercise program after you start. Generally speaking, the more enjoyable a program is, the more motivated you will be to continue it. And the more consistent you are with a program, the more likely you will experience positive results.

A 2014 study published in the Journal of Sports Medicine and Physical Fitness found that a Zumba intervention in sedentary adults with metabolic syndrome "showed good feasibility and adherence," which points to the positive sustainability of the program as a whole.

Energy and General Health

While almost any sustained workout program may help boost mood, self-esteem, and energy, Zumba has a few peer-reviewed studies pointing to its psychological benefits of the program.

Namely, a 2016 study published in the Journal of Physical Activity and Health found that healthy women who participated in an 8-week Zumba program experienced positive changes in perceptions of physical strength, autonomy, and purpose in life, improving their overall feelings of health and well-being.

The cost of Zumba is variable, depending on where you take the class. If you're paying on a fee-per-class basis, you're likely to spend between $5 and $25 per class, depending on the setting and the instructor. If you're a member of a gym where Zumba is offered, the class may be included as part of your membership.

If you're on a budget, you can purchase a DVD to work out at home for as low as $10. The flexibility of price, depending on location and needs, makes the program financially accessible for most people.

Zumba doesn't make unrealistic claims about calorie burn or the potential for weight loss or strength gains. Instead, their marketing focuses on improving fitness in a fun way that helps enhance how you feel every day—and more than delivers on those fronts.

Zumba has a lot of benefits, but there are some potential disadvantages to consider.

Lacks Strengthing and Flexibility Components

The literature is clear that Zumba can provide cardiovascular benefits, but the jury is out on whether there are significant benefits to flexibility and strength. Unless you're taking Zumba classes, such as Strong by Zumba, that expressly incorporate strength-training moves as a primary component of the workout, you shouldn't view Zumba as a well-rounded general fitness class.

In addition to taking two to three Zumba classes a week, you may also want to add a few strength training and flexibility activities to your schedule. Consider trying a 30-minute strength circuit followed by a 10-minute stretching session on days you're not doing Zumba.

All fitness programs, regardless of type, carry an inherent risk. You could pull a muscle, twist an ankle, or fall. If you do too much too soon, you can risk excessive soreness or symptoms of overtraining .

That said, the Zumba brand has gone out of its way to developing programs designed for all audiences and age levels, offering varying levels of intensity and challenge to reduce the risk of potential injury.

Zumba is considered a generally safe fitness activity, but because all physical activity carries inherent risk, you should consider your physical health before diving into a program. Make sure to wear shoes that will allow you to slide .

If you have a known lower-extremity injury or a history of ankle or knee problems , talk to a healthcare provider before trying Zumba, or start with a lower-impact version of the program, such as Zumba Gold or Aqua Zumba.

And if you're brand-new to dance choreography, don't overdo it and push yourself too hard. Give yourself time to master the movements at your own pace. Moving quickly or without coordination can lead to an increased risk of injury. The critical thing to remember is to ease yourself into a program and to listen to your body, taking rest when you need it.

Zumba is a fun, effective dance workout that is a good option for people who enjoy upbeat music and an energetic group exercise environment. Here's how it compares to other similar classes.

Jazzercise is the original dance-fitness class that took the world by storm in the 1980s and 1990s. While it experienced a bit of a resurgence in the 2010s, Jazzercise has yet to return to the popularity of its heyday.

That said, like Zumba, it offers choreographed dance moves to upbeat music in a fun, group environment. If you want the atmosphere of Zumba but don't feel comfortable with the booty-shaking vigor of Zumba's dance choreography, Jazzercise might be a mellower option.

BUTI Yoga is a workout that combines high-intensity exercise with African dance-inspired choreography and yoga flows. The nice thing about BUTI is that it really does hit all the bases for general fitness—you'll develop strength, flexibility, and cardiovascular endurance .

The program is also available online and through independent instructors at gyms and fitness centers, so you can access classes pretty much wherever you are.

That said, the movements are less appropriate for a general audience, making it more suitable for healthy adults with a solid baseline of fitness, rather than an older audience or those with known health issues or injuries.

Barre Classes

Barre fitness classes are popular programs most often available at boutique fitness studios. These workouts focus more on flexibility , muscular endurance , and core strength and less on cardiovascular fitness. The movements are slower and more controlled, and while the classes are choreographed, you're not trying to keep up with a series of fast-paced steps.

Barre workouts may be an excellent supplement to Zumba, as strength and flexibility are a greater focus. They're also considered a low-impact workout which can be a good option for beginners or those with known lower-extremity injuries. However, Barre classes often come at a higher price, ranging from roughly $15 to $35 per class.

A Word From Verywell

Zumba provides a fun and positive workout experience with options appropriate for all ages and ability levels. There's a lot of independent research to support the program's efficacy and not much to detract from its potential benefits.

However, if you don't like dancing, fast-paced choreography, or Latin-inspired music, Zumba might not be a good fit for you. But if you're looking for an addictively fun, high-energy group dance workout set to upbeat music, Zumba is a great one to try.

Presentation Transcript

Exercise is a topic to which people hold varying degrees of comfort. No two individuals will perfectly sync on their views of exercise. It’s a subject which can cause a lot of strife in some, embarrassment in others.

On the surface, we can say that exercise is a deeply personal endeavor. Since no two people experience exercise the same way it makes sense for no two exercises to be the same. While you might enjoy going to a spin class, someone else may prefer lifting weights.

The willingness to push the boundaries of traditional exercise methods has helped intrigue people to revisit what exercise truly is. The phrase “hitting the gym” no longer has the same sort of connotation.

The gym now ranges from a yoga studio, aerobics class, fields, parks, and even your own living room. More and more people are trading the treadmill for something they consider to be more fun than work. That’s where exercises such as Zumba come into play.

Created by Columbian choreographer and dancer Alberto Perez in the 1990’s, Zumba is one of the most popular dance fitness programs in the world. You have more than likely seen advertisements for Zumba classes at your local gym.

If you’re interested in learning more about just what this popular fitness program really is then here are some basics to know:

Zumba Covers All Like hip-hop dancing but know that you’re not the best dancer? Love to salsa dance on the weekends and want to incorporate that into your weekly exercise routine? Zumba has you covered.

Depending on which class you take, Zumba incorporates hip-hop, soca, samba, salsa, merengue and mambo as well as lunges and squats to round it out. Each Zumba class is different which means one class may be mambo-heavy with another throwing in lunges and squats a lot more.

Trying out a variety of classes will give you an idea of what sort of program you prefer.

Zumba for Every Level Contrary to popular belief, Zumba is for every skill level no matter how long you have been exercising or dancing. As with many popular alternative exercise routines, Zumba encompasses both beginner and expert levels of fitness.

If seeing Zumba on television or walking by an intense class has you concerned about how you’ll fit in – don’t worry. Check out some of the beginner classes and you’ll find other people starting at the same point you are.

One tenant of Zumba to remember is that it’s a fitness program designed to let you have fun no matter your level.

Zumba Benefits This is one exercise program that will get you up and moving. Zumba targets a huge variety of areas to give you results where you need them.

Depending on what class you take, an hour of Zumba can help you burn nearly 380 calories. It beats cardio kickboxing as well as step aerobics in terms of burn.

A typical Zumba class is designed to strengthen your core muscles, improve your flexibility, and can help you lose weight if you are searching for a program that covers multitudes. Zumba is the perfect alternative to traditional exercise classes that will let you have fun while improving your overall health. http://www.piesfitnessyoga.com/

Zumba: What It Is, Health Benefits, and How to Get Started

Lauren Bedosky

Few exercise classes have had Zumba's staying power. This dance workout — which looks and sounds more like a dance party — remains a popular go-to for fitness-minded folks around the world.

Indeed, Zumba is currently practiced by 15 million people in 180 countries, according to the company .

Here’s everything you need to know about what Zumba is, the health benefits, and how to get started.

What Is Zumba?

Zumba is a Latin-inspired dance workout created in Colombia by the celebrity fitness trainer Alberto “Beto” Perez in the 1990s, according to an  article in the June 2012  Journal of Sports Science & Medicine . It’s often described as a dance party rather than a workout, because participants are encouraged to move to the beat of the music more than follow the choreography exactly.

Unlike other fitness classes, like step aerobics or hip-hop, Zumba is a trademarked name that refers to classes, programs, and services offered by the brand Zumba Fitness, LLC. That means only those who have been licensed by the company can offer Zumba classes. Instructors have to undergo training through the company before they can be licensed to teach Zumba.

But make no mistake: Zumba is a workout. It’s primarily a cardiovascular activity, “helping to build stamina while burning calories,” says Carolee Poythress , a personal trainer certified by the American Council on Exercise (ACE) and the cofounder and fitness director of  Excel Body Fitness , a studio that offers Zumba classes in Cary, North Carolina.

Zumba can be added to your weekly routine as often as you’d like, though one to three times a week is ideal if you want to do it regularly to allow time in your week for other types of workouts, says  Alayna Curry , a fitness instructor certified by the Athletics and Fitness Association of America and a licensed Zumba instructor based in Orlando, Florida.

She also recommends adding strength training to your routine two to three days a week. “This will help you increase your strength and lower your risk of injury [during Zumba classes and outside of them],” Curry says.

The Health Benefits of Zumba

There are many health benefits associated with this Latin-inspired dance workout.

Research published in December 2016 in the journal PM&R found that regular Zumba classes were an effective type of aerobic activity; they improve participants' cardiovascular fitness and may improve strength and flexibility , too.

Like other types of aerobic exercise , Zumba has been linked to improved markers of cardiovascular health. In one small  study published in the Journal of Sports Medicine and Physical Fitness , sedentary obese women saw significant reductions in blood pressure and triglycerides (a type of fat found in the blood) after attending two weekly Zumba classes for 12 weeks.

Plus, many people find dance workouts like Zumba a great way to relieve stress. Classes are fun, Poythress says. “Several participants refer to their Zumba class as therapy.”

While research on Zumba's effects on mental health is lacking, some studies have linked exercise with mood-boosting benefits. A  study published in March 2018 in Frontiers in Psychology found that people with mental disorders saw mood improvements after a single bout of moderate exercise.

As with any form of exercise, you should do Zumba regularly to reap these benefits. Time spent doing Zumba counts toward the 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic exercise you should be doing (at minimum) every week for optimal health,  per U.S. Department of Health and Human Services guidelines .

“Zumba can be done on a daily basis, for as long as the person has tolerance for it, or it can be done on an intermittent basis along with other forms of exercise like walking or weight lifting,” says  Barbara Bergin, MD , a retired orthopedic surgeon in Austin, Texas, who now speaks publicly on health and preventing injury and disability.

Is Zumba Good for Weight Loss?

Zumba may help with weight loss, because it involves movement and therefore burns calories, Dr. Bergin says.

In the study in the  Journal of Sports Science & Medicine mentioned above, healthy women burned an average of 9.5 calories per minute during a Zumba class. That’s more calories per minute than other popular fitness classes, such as power yoga, cardio kickboxing, and step aerobics, reports the American Council on Exercise .

A  review and meta-analysis published December 25, 2020, in  International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health concluded that there isn't sufficient evidence that Zumba is effective for weight loss, and that more research is needed. That review did conclude that Zumba was effective in terms of improving VO 2 max, a measure of aerobic capacity (and cardiovascular fitness).

FAQs to Know Before Your First Zumba Class

New to Zumba? Here’s what you should know.

1. What Muscles Does Zumba Work?

While Zumba offers a total-body workout, it primarily targets the muscles of the legs and core. “You’ll likely be doing a lot of shuffling side to side and hopping and stepping forward and back, which will engage your quads, calves, hamstrings, and glutes,” Curry says.

Depending on the style of the class and instructor, you may be doing a lot of upper body movement, too, she says.

2. Are All Zumba Classes Alike, or Are There Different Types?

The intensity of Zumba varies from one class — and instructor — to another. There are also classes geared toward specific populations and interests, including chair Zumba, aqua Zumba, Zumba for older adults, Zumba for kids, and more. You can find a  full list of the class options on the official Zumba site.

You have many options for finding a Zumba class that fits your schedule, lifestyle, and personal preferences. In-person and online Zumba classes are offered at many gyms, community centers, and boutique fitness studios. Keep in mind that Zumba is a trademarked workout, so you’ll want to find a class led by a licensed Zumba instructor. The official Zumba site offers a directory where you can search for classes led by qualified instructors in your area.

3. Do I Need Specific Shoes for Zumba?

Be sure you have a pair of supportive shoes for Zumba. “You need a style that will provide stability for your ankles and allow you to make quick movements in any direction,” Curry says. Light sneakers or sneakers made specifically for dancing are best. The most important feature to consider is support, “as you’ll be sliding and stomping a whole lot,” Curry says. Some people prefer mid- or high-top shoes for ankle support.

4. What Should I Wear for Zumba?

You’ll also want to wear clothes that are comfortable and allow you to move without restriction. “Zumba is primarily a cardio workout, so you’ll work up a sweat,” Curry says. Take that into consideration when choosing workout gear. Opt for moisture-wicking fabrics like polyester, nylon, and spandex.

Is There Anyone Who Shouldn’t Try Zumba?

Zumba may not be appropriate for everyone. Err on the side of caution and check with your healthcare provider before trying Zumba if you have a chronic heart condition, high blood pressure, or musculoskeletal issues like arthritis, Bergin says.

The Origins of Zumba: Unveiling its Original Name and Evolution

When was zumba fitness founded unveiling the origins of this popular exercise phenomenon, the ultimate guide to zumba: unveiling the fascinating history in a pdf format, the ultimate guide: unveiling the purpose of zumba fitness.

Zumba Fitness is a popular exercise program that combines dance movements with aerobic exercises. It was created in the 1990s by Alberto “Beto” Perez, a Colombian dancer and choreographer. The purpose of Zumba Fitness is to provide a fun and energetic workout that helps people improve their cardiovascular health, lose weight, and tone their bodies.

Zumba Fitness was initially known as “Rumbacize” when it was first developed by Beto Perez. The story goes that Beto forgot his traditional aerobics music for a class he was teaching, so he improvised by using his own personal salsa and merengue music. This impromptu mix of music and dance moves became an instant hit with his students, and thus, Zumba Fitness was born.

Over time, Zumba Fitness evolved and incorporated various dance styles, including hip-hop, reggaeton, and even belly dancing. The combination of high-energy music and easy-to-follow dance routines made Zumba Fitness appealing to people of all ages and fitness levels.

Zumba Fitness was officially founded in the late 1990s when Beto Perez, along with two business partners, introduced it to the public. The program gained popularity quickly, spreading to fitness studios and gyms worldwide. Today, Zumba Fitness classes are offered in over 180 countries, making it a global exercise phenomenon.

For those interested in delving deeper into the history of Zumba Fitness, we have created a comprehensive PDF guide. This guide provides a detailed timeline of Zumba’s evolution, including its origins, the development of different dance styles within the program, and its worldwide expansion. It also explores the health benefits of Zumba Fitness and includes success stories from individuals who have achieved their fitness goals through Zumba.

What is Zumba? - PowerPoint PPT Presentation

presentation about zumba

What is Zumba?

Zumba is fitness program that is combination of latin and international music with dance moves. it covers all types of dance like hip-hop, soca, samba, salsa, merengue, & mambo. to learn more about zumba, take a look at presentation. – powerpoint ppt presentation.

  • Exercise is a topic to which people hold varying degrees of comfort. No two individuals will perfectly sync on their views of exercise. Its a subject which can cause a lot of strife in some, embarrassment in others.
  • On the surface, we can say that exercise is a deeply personal endeavor. Since no two people experience exercise the same way it makes sense for no two exercises to be the same. While you might enjoy going to a spin class, someone else may prefer lifting weights.
  • The willingness to push the boundaries of traditional exercise methods has helped intrigue people to revisit what exercise truly is. The phrase hitting the gym no longer has the same sort of connotation.
  • The gym now ranges from a yoga studio, aerobics class, fields, parks, and even your own living room. More and more people are trading the treadmill for something they consider to be more fun than work. Thats where exercises such as Zumba come into play.
  • Created by Columbian choreographer and dancer Alberto Perez in the 1990s, Zumba is one of the most popular dance fitness programs in the world. You have more than likely seen advertisements for Zumba classes at your local gym.
  • If youre interested in learning more about just what this popular fitness program really is then here are some basics to know
  • Like hip-hop dancing but know that youre not the best dancer? Love to salsa dance on the weekends and want to incorporate that into your weekly exercise routine? Zumba has you covered.
  • Depending on which class you take, Zumba incorporates hip-hop, soca, samba, salsa, merengue and mambo as well as lunges and squats to round it out. Each Zumba class is different which means one class may be mambo-heavy with another throwing in lunges and squats a lot more.
  • Trying out a variety of classes will give you an idea of what sort of program you prefer.
  • Contrary to popular belief, Zumba is for every skill level no matter how long you have been exercising or dancing. As with many popular alternative exercise routines, Zumba encompasses both beginner and expert levels of fitness.
  • If seeing Zumba on television or walking by an intense class has you concerned about how youll fit in dont worry. Check out some of the beginner classes and youll find other people starting at the same point you are.
  • One tenant of Zumba to remember is that its a fitness program designed to let you have fun no matter your level.
  • This is one exercise program that will get you up and moving. Zumba targets a huge variety of areas to give you results where you need them.
  • Depending on what class you take, an hour of Zumba can help you burn nearly 380 calories. It beats cardio kickboxing as well as step aerobics in terms of burn.
  • A typical Zumba class is designed to strengthen your core muscles, improve your flexibility, and can help you lose weight if you are searching for a program that covers multitudes. Zumba is the perfect alternative to traditional exercise classes that will let you have fun while improving your overall health.

Objective: As an alternative to the traditional approach to physical exercise, new kinds of organized physical activity have been developed designed to engage large segments of the population. Among these, Zumba fitness is extremely popular, with a growing number of participants. This article aims to summarize and analyze the body of evidence on the effects of Zumba fitness interventions on physical function, fitness, and wellbeing. TYPE: Systematic review.

Literature survey: Keyword "Zumba" was identified as term for the literature research in MEDLINE, Scopus, Bandolier, PEDro, and Web of Science. Only studies published in peer-reviewed journals written in English language were considered.

Methodology: Eleven manuscripts were classified as eligible with 586 total participants, ranging in age from 18 to 65 years. After a quality appraisal, we classified 4 studies as high-quality investigations and 7 as low quality. Results were summarized in several domains: "anthropometric parameters and body composition," "hormonal and metabolic profiles," "aerobic and cardiovascular performance," "muscular fitness parameters," and "quality of life, pain score and physical activity questionnaire."

Synthesis: Results from this systematic review indicated that Zumba fitness could be considered an effective type of physical activity able to improve aerobic capacity. Small but positive benefits were noted for reducing body weight and other body measurements. Furthermore, other effects, including psychological and social benefits on quality of life, were found after Zumba fitness interventions. Otherwise, limited evidence described positive effects on muscular strength and flexibility.

Conclusions: Zumba fitness could be considered an effective type of physical activity able to improve aerobic capacity. Limited evidence described positive effects on muscular strength and flexibility.

Level of evidence: II.
