Is Zumba Dance

[Suanne Forte]

Im sure there are a lot of Fitbit owners that dance or do Zumba on a regular basis. I am a new Fitbit Charge 5 owner and I teach line dancing and take Zumba classes a few time times a week and I don't see an option to document it. Any suggestions would help.

The first is to let your Charge 5 automatically recognize the exercise and then go into the App on your phone, tap the Exercise, then select Categorize Exercise at the top and enter the exercise you want in the search bar. Zumba is listed but Line Dancing isn't (dancing is though). You can tap to select and it will save that name for your activity. When it Auto Recognizes exercise, I find the times are slightly adrift, so you can edit them by tapping the 3 dots at the top right, choosing Edit Exercise Details, and you can adjust the times.

The other way is to add an Exercise Shortcut to your Charge 5. From the Today screen, tap your profile picture, then Charge 5, then Exercise Shortcuts. If there's one you don't use, slide to the left to delete it, then you can choose +Exercise Shortcut to add a new one, 'Workout' is probably the best choice here. Sync your Charge 5 and check it's added to your Exercise Shortcuts. Then when you next have a dance session, you can press Start and Stop on your tracker to give exact times and then follow the instructions I gave above to rename the Exercise in the App.

As soon as I walked in the room, I saw the neon purple lighting and smiling faces. The space still had that party vibe Zumba is known for, and it was clear that this was going to be a more accessible approach to a high-intensity interval class.

The 45-minute workout is divided into four sections, or quadrants as they're called during the class. We started with a warm-up (quadrant one, called Ignite), which was focused on prepping your body for the workout by raising your heart rate with moves like jumping jacks, as well as incorporating some mobility work with moves like leg swings and dynamic hip stretches.

Dance cardio can be a fantastic workout, but incorporating strength and interval training adds even more benefits to your fitness routine. Strength training not only makes you feel strong AF, it also helps with weight-loss goals. Lean muscle mass takes more energy for your body to maintain, so the more you have, the more calories your body burns at rest.

The on-beat pattern was definitely noticeable throughout the entire workout, so even though it's not technically dance cardio, I'd call this class...rhythmic. There were dance-y moves seamlessly woven in between traditional exercises like jumping jacks and lunges, plus some boxing-inspired punch and kick sequences that I was very into.

The workout isn't available everywhere yet, but it's available in major cities like NYC, LA, Chicago, and Miami (Crunch is the first nationwide gym to offer the workout). It'll roll out in more cities nationwide as more trainers get certified, so look out for it to hit your gym soon (this handy Zumba class finder can help). For boot camp enthusiasts, it's a way to add some fun movement to your routine, and for Zumba class lovers, it's a way to add some all-important strength training to your workouts. Win-win, no matter how you like to shake it.

We were a motley Mission collection of all-aged ladies, including a Certain Age; we were Latinas, Filipinas, Chinese, and gringas like me. There were tubby and chubby and scrawny and elegant, and I flung myself around, trying to make up with enthusiasm what I lack in skill (always in the back row).

The custodian watched, amused, as we shimmied and sweated and sprayed droplets (WHO KNEW!) up and down the rec center basketball court. Dalia played Caribbean, reggae and salsa, uptempo and LOUD. In the back row, I hid out again.

Thank you Naomi Marcus

I feel very happy that I have been able to do something for my beautiful people in my community.

Reading this makes me better every day and always give to all of you.

With out you that important complement could not be made for me, you are the students.

I miss you very much these moments lived. but also soon if God grants us we will be there again!

Although I know that there are also many of our people who have left because of this pandemic.

it hurts much.

For them we are going to make a minute of silence to remember it and also join them in the party.

Thank you for this, it filled me with joy and pride. see you soon ?

Me encantan los muchos sentimientos que tocan el corazon por la autora, Naomi Marcus. Ella describe su verdad en frases a la vez simples y profundas de la experiences humana: el gran pesar de la vida.

I read this aloud to my husband and am sending to a zumba-loving friend. The joy of movement with others is different that moving alone, but that can by joyful too. I look forward to dancing with you when we see each other again, dear one.

Love your article. I miss yoga and Zumba classes at the JCC so much it makes me want to boo-hoo buckets. I never cried in class but your reasons for doing so touch my heart bc the joy that Zumba inspires needs to be celebrated and appreciated. Thanks for sharing the joy.
