Zumba

Wear supportive athletic shoes and check the floor and space around you. Loosen your ankles and hips with light steps.

Start with basic steps, following the instructor or the music. Match the beat with movements sized to what you can handle.

Slow down to the cool-down song and stretch lightly. Let your breathing settle, then check your workout duration.

Dance moves to upbeat music work your cardiovascular system and whole body. Your legs, hips, and core move together.

Avoid twisting your knees while your feet stay planted during turns. If you get too out of breath, lower the intensity and take a short break.

Keep breathing naturally with the beat. If it becomes hard to talk, make your movements smaller.

Record the time spent doing Zumba. Do not enter the number of songs or steps.
