Mixed-race dance complex
Sumba, Zumba, is a form of fitness, which was born in the southern American city of Miami.
Tracing back to the source, the word sumba actually comes from Colombian instead of American English. Its original meaning is "cheerful and fast moving", which shows the characteristics of Zumba.
South American dances such as salsa, reggae, Kumbia, samba, flamingo, cha-cha and tango are all products of mixed-race culture. When they meet the American society that boldly and freely integrates the world culture, the result is that many families gather in one furnace and extract a happy dance with unique national characteristics-Zumba. So some people say that Zumba is actually a mixed-race dance.
In Miami, Zumba has changed from a dance form to a fitness course. As a new fitness fashion, Zumba has quickly become popular all over the world.
Target: waist and abdomen fat
Zumba combines the steps and rhythms of various South American dances, among which samba is used more. It emphasizes fast movement and will not cause any unnecessary damage to joints. Although it is a synthesis of dance, people who have no dance foundation can quickly integrate into it, because the dance steps are not difficult.
According to the Zumba instructor, in a Zumba class, there are not only dynamic dances such as Latin dance and salsa dance, but also stretching movements interspersed with cha-cha elements, which can relax to some extent, consuming about 300 calories an hour, which is equivalent to jogging on a treadmill for 40 minutes. In particular, it draws lessons from a lot of cha cha-cha's turning movements, so the fat-reducing effect on the waist and abdomen is particularly obvious.
