Zumba Gold is a lower-intensity version of the typical Zumba class designed to be more gentle on the joints and easy to pick up for beginners or those with challenged balance/coordination. The design of the class introduces easy-to-follow choreography that focuses on balance, range of motion and coordination.
The Top Benefits of Zumba Gold Classes:
Improve Balance and Coordination - Good balance and coordition can help us prevent injuries especially as we age. During Zumba® class, you will get to activate many important muscles for maintaining balance, and in repeating certain positions over and over, your brain will begin to remember many new forms of body position.
Keep Your Heart & Lungs Healthy - Aerobic exercise has been proven to improve your heart health by lowering your blood pressure, lowering your resting heart rate and reducing your chances of heart disease. Completing an aerobic workout is also beneficial for your lungs. It trains your lungs to work more efficiently as you breathe hard and absorb more oxygen.
Boost Metabolism - Burning calories is a GREAT way to naturally assist your metabolism in converting what you consume into energy for your mind and body. Zumba® is all about movement. During a class, you'll shake your hips, move your feet, sway your arms and complete other types of dance moves. The tempo changes and intensity variation throughout the class make Zumba® one of the best workout choices to maximize fat burning and torch calories in order to help your metabolism stay charged no matter what age you are.
Better Mood - The combination of exercise and dance causes your brain to release endorphins like serotonin, making you happier. In general, exercise can also help alleviate any built-up stress, anger or anxiety that needs an outlet to escape. The Zumba® class culture and structure are all about positivity and inspiring others to have fun and achieve their fitness goals. Zumba® can also boost your confidence.
