Hello,everyone!!! Last week was another great week for Zumba with Carla Lima,great classes,great fun,great people!!!Thank you all for coming! I'm so very fortunate to have you all in my life and to be able to do what I love as a job,it's something really amazing!Thank you! Did you see the new Zumba official song and routine specially created for the Dance week in the UK? We'll start practising it from tomorrow! Can't wait LOVE it!!!!!It's called 'ES tiempo de bailar' which means 'Time to dance'. I'm sure you'll love it too! Why do you come to a ZWCL class?Is it just for the fun?Is it to loose weight?To do a good work out? Think about it and find what is your goal when you come to a class. If you're looking to loose weight,to do a good work out remember first of all to eat Eat Correctly - Do NOT starve yourself or go on any fad diet. Eat properly. Healthy proteins (chicken, fish, etc). Vegetables. Fruits. Don't come home from a class and gorge on ice cream or you will see no weight loss (and probably the opposite). However, it is good to reward yourself at times (at least a couple times a week) with a small treat.Have a chocolat before the class for example. Drink 2 litres of water per day. Do the class a minimum of twice a week,regular Zumba and at least once a week the Toning class as we all know 'resistance' training helps you to burn more calories,to tone and re shape your body,will also improve your co-ordenation which not only will help you in your daily tasks as it will help you to do the regular Zumba class,and when you come to the class follow these simple tips that will help you to achieve your goals faster: 1. Let Loose
Zumba is all about having fun, and joining the party, which is hard to do if you're stiff or self-conscious! The best way to burn more calories in class is to let go, have fun, and try not to think too much. "Letting yourself go will let the calories go!”.
2. Maximize Your Arm Movement
During the moves, be sure to fully extend your arms.You’ll boost your calorie burn and engage more muscles by maximizing your arm movements during class. "It's not that tricky and you can do a lot for your body by lengthening, raising, and extending with oomph."
3. Move Up and Down More
“When your instructor takes you though a level change try and do it,". All that up and down movement will not only boost your burn, it will also get your glutes, hips, and thigh muscles firing even more. “Sit into your moves, bend your knees, and go up and down and all around as much as you can—level changes burn calories!"
4. Work Your Booty
"There is always a lot of booty shaking in Zumba!". "Just shake it—and shake it good (to best do this, see tip #1)." ZES recommends pressing through your heels whenever you can to maximize the move’s booty shaping benefits.
5. Rock the Moves You Know
So maybe you don’t have every move mastered yet, that's OK! You can still get a great workout as long as you rock the moves you’ve got! "Always accentuate the moves that you are actually comfortable with,". “Make the most out of that shimmy you love, or the salsa step you have mastered. Feel confident in adding your own flair to the movement. If you know it, show it!" Finally do a proper stretching at the end,don't leave before the class is finished and make sure to listen to my explanations how to do it and observe my movements,make sure you are doing them correctly. The stretching is one of the most important components of the class,will prevent blood pooling,will bring your muscles back to their regular lenght,will leave you relaxed after all that work out and prevent you from feeling so sore the day after. Now the playlist for this week is: 1-Balans 2-Boom,boom 3-Zumba time 4-Es tiempo de bailar (NEW) 5-Footloose 6-Como olvidar 7-Yeah,batuke mix 8-Black & yellow 9-Dansa kuduro ll 10-Sex bomb 11-Can,can 12-Se le ve 13-Un mes 14-Dalida 15-Rumour has it (Toning class/Tango) 16-Maputo song |

Zumba - A few times a week. This is your cardio/weight loss exercise.
Toning class - Do this once or twice a week. Doing this actually helps you burn MORE calories when you're doing your cardio portion because your muscles require more energy. It's been shown time and time again that individuals who supplement cardio with weight training maintain a healthier physique and reduced weight.
Eat Correctly - Do NOT starve yourself or go on any fad diet. Eat properly. Healthy proteins (chicken, fish, etc). Vegetables. Fruits. Don't come home from a class and gorge on ice cream or you will see no weight loss (and probably the opposite). However, it is good to reward yourself at times (at least a couple times a week) with a small treat.

ZUMBA® HEALTHY EATING Zumba® Healthy Eating (1)
If you're looking to lose weight naturally and are thinking about a Zumba weight loss strategy, then you will want to study every single word on this page because it truly is that important! For starters, we are about to focus on if you actually can shed extra fat by utilizing a mix of a Zumba exercise routine and healthy eating plan. Subsequently, we will discuss five tips/rules which you can use to quickly and easily modify your diet program and begin re-shaping your body.
When you're succesfully done reading this guide you'll be able to immediately take action employing these Zumba weight loss instructions.
Zumba weight loss has grown to be the buzzword on the internet. Even so, why do Zumba dance and exercise classes entice so many individuals? Can someone really burn fat and inches with the Zumba dancing and exercise work out? Outlined in this article, we are going to make an attempt to respond to these types of concerns.
Can this dance workout really help me to drop a few pounds? Undoubtedly the answer is of course!
When my customers ask if Zumba can help them get rid of excess unwanted fat and even drop inches, I let them know these five helpful hints that can help these individuals obtain these fitness goals.
Rule 1
A Zumba class is more effective if utilized three times per week. Viewing a Zumba class on a video is adequate, but yet doing the Zumba classes personally with other folks produces more vitality and life to your dance workout.
Rule 2
It's important to examine nutrition labels and also try to eat a healthy diet. Certain foods that are lower in trans fat and have zero saturated fats are ideal for a lean appearance. Smart options for snacks include veggies, raw fruit, plain fat free popcorn and yogurt.
Rule 3
Soda is incredibly loaded with glucose consequently pick a calorie-free tasting water instead.
Rule 4
Packing healthy snacks in order to avoid snatching chocolates out of a junk food machine is wise, and so is bringing a healthy meal for work.
Rule 5
One of the best sources of protein and that should be a part of balanced and healthy diet are "nuts." Having said that, for quite a while men and women on diet plans wouldn't consider eating nut products because of their high-fat content. Certainly, you'll be glad to learn that nuts are once again accepted as a health food.
In reality, the Food and drug administration is looking into letting any foods that contain nuts,to point out that consuming no less than 1 oz of nuts each and every day might actually lower your chance of heart problems.
Because nuts have fibers they are also very helpful when you're on a low-calorie diet plan. In spite of this, this doesn't imply that you can get crazy eating nuts. A 1 oz serving of nuts contains approximately a hundred and fifty to two hundred calories. A great number of calories come from what is deemed heart healthy mono unsaturated fats. So, the very next time you're looking for healthy snack foods to eat think about going nuts.
These are five elements of the Zumba weight loss program. In addition, get rid of the term diet out of your language. You'll want to give some thought to eating healthy as a life-style. You will discover that with a little "nutrition knowledge" you'll have the ability to consume a lot more food and still shed the excess weight that you'd like to shed. So keep these important guidelines in your mind and make sure that you perform some kind of aerobic work out at the very least 3 times per week. In almost no time at all you'll have the body which you dream about. |
