Anyone who’s attempted a weight loss program can tell you, it’s tough. Contrary to late night infomercials and social media ads, there’s no magic pill when it comes to shedding those extra pounds, and keeping them off. The key to your success is no “secret”. The combination of cutting calories, healthy foods, and moving your body is the only proven method of successful weight loss and weight loss management.
Hard work and commitment go a long way, the excitement you felt at the start begins to wane. It’s late, and cold out and you’ve already put in a full day. You can skip the gym. Just this once. Which soon turns into the next night and then you find you’ve missed a whole week of workouts.
Or maybe you started a walking program or training for a 5K. It can be hard to get out of bed that extra hour early just to squeeze in your time on the treadmill. Your workouts were fun at first-full of energy and motivation. Then, slowly, you returned to your old ways, and reclaimed your place on the couch.

A High-Intensity Hybrid of Dance and Exercise Techniques
Although there are plenty of dance moves in your Zumba workout, this exciting exercise began in an aerobics studio in Colombia in the 1990’s. As the story goes, the popular aerobics instructor who came up with Zumba was running late to tach a traditional aerobics class when he discovered his usual workout music was nowhere to be found. He reached into his backpack and pulled out his personal collection of Latin dance music. He threw some salsa dance moves into his usual routine and voila! Zumba was born!
