Wow! Seems like a pretty okay deal right? You get to dance freely and lose the weight. It’s described as a sexy workout that is considered “an exercise in disguise” whereas a person doing it can typically burn up to 500-1,000 calories an hour.

The word means “fast moving” and it’s also fused with the word “rumba” which means “party.” So that’s why when you do it, you feel like you’re at a party. Zumba originated from Alberto “Beto” Perez in Colombia during the 1990’s when as a dance choreographer, he forgot his tape of aerobic music for a class that he was about to teach, and ran out to his car to get a Latin music tape and began a salsa-like workout routine…and from it, “Zumba” was created. So let me give you some background information (and you can Google it for yourself as well). The Bible says that we perish for the lack of knowledge. First of all, what is Zumba? Many Christians are beginning to gravitate to it, yet they don’t really know what it is or why they’re doing it, but they sign up for it anyway. Okay, I know that I’m going to get a mixed bag on this topic, but here goes. So I know my fair share about genuine exercise and health, and what it takes to be and look healthy. Anyone who knows me is aware that my husband is a strength and conditioning coach. I did a little homework on it (and you can too). God has impressed upon my heart to write about this fairly new workout that has captured the attention of more than 20,000 instructors in 35 countries (according to Wikipedia), which has thousands of men, women, and including children signing up everywhere for the classes.
