Each ZUMBA®class is designed to bring people together to sweat it on.
How It Works -We take the "work" out of workout, by mixing low-intensity and high-intensity moves for an interval-style, calorie-burning dance fitness party. Once the Latin and World rhythms take over, you'll see why Zumba®Fitness classes are often called exercise in disguise. Super effective? Check. Super fun? Check and check.
Benefits -A total workout, combining all elements of fitness – cardio, muscle conditioning, balance and flexibility, boosted energy and a serious dose of awesome each time you leave Zumba class.
Here's a sample of some Zumba® Fitness Classes moves:
Before your first class, try a Zumba workout at home!
More tips for your first Zumba class:
If you're worried that you won't know what to do, that you're not coordinated enough, or that others might laugh at you, don't worry! The Alaska Club instructors are there to help you learn the moves at your own pace, improve your coordination, and most importantly to have fun. Other members won't laugh or stare at newbies: they're much too focused on what they're doing and watching the instructor! We all remember our first class and the courage required to show up, and that respect carries through to all the group Zumba fitness classes.
Arrive early and let the instructor know that it's your first class: he or she may have some tips on where to find a good spot where you can see the teacher and feel comfortable.
Wear comfortable sneakers that you can move around in a lot: no bare feet or socks for the safety of your toes and lateral support of your feet and ankles.
Wear comfortable clothes that can move and stretch with you.
Water is a must: water fountains are available at all The Alaska Club locations if you forget or need a refill, and towels are available too.
