Fitness fanatics and everyday exercisers have undoubtedly heard the word Zumba at some point. Zumba is the trademark name of a wildly popular form of aerobic exercise that is hailed as not only fun and energizing, but highly effective for burning calories.
The man behind the Zumba sensation is Cali, Columbia, native Alberto "Beto" Perez. A dancer/fitness instructor, Perez brought his Latin-inspired dance style to Miami where it eventually became a hugely popular form of exercise.
In mid-1990, Perez, an aerobics class instructor, forgot to bring his regular songs to class and improvised with his own Latin salsa and merengue music. The Latin music/aerobic combination became a hit in Colombia, and eventually became a huge phenomenon that has caught on not only in the United States, but throughout the world.
Zumba involves dance moves set to a Latin rhythm in classes that last one hour and are typically taught in a party atmosphere with dimmed lights and loud music. Zumba instructors promote their classes as fun, energizing and easy to follow, regardless of fitness level.
