Why Is Zumba Good For Weight Loss?
Zumba incorporates various dance forms plus bodyweight training. Therefore, you will do cardio as well as build muscle. Depending on your current weight, height, and age, you can burn anywhere between 300-500 calories. So, if you just avoid all junk food and go for Zumba 4-5 days a week, you will burn anywhere between 1500-2500 calories per week! This is way more than what you can burn by running on the treadmill for 30 minutes straight at a medium pace.

A study conducted by the American Journal of Health Behavior showed that women with type-2 diabetes were able to lose about 2.5 pounds and had 1% lower body fat percent by doing Zumba for 16 weeks (1). And most of the participants continued going to the classes even after the study was complete. This shows that Zumba is very appealing to people. Just the idea of dancing with a group of people can be a strong motivator. In fact, I get more excited about my Zumba session than my time at the gym!
