Zumba is a dynamic group workout based on a combination of dance movements and cardio elements. The practice uses rhythms such as salsa, merengue, reggaeton, and other Latin styles, with the aim of maintaining an elevated heart rate through continuous movement and stimulating overall energy expenditure. The structure of the activity typically includes a short warm-up, a series of dance combinations with varying intensity, and a final cool-down. The choreographies are easy to follow, with an emphasis on keeping the rhythm and a steady tempo, rather than on technical precision.
