  2. Are You Ready To Party Yourself Into Shape!? • Thought So! • Zumba is a exhilarating, effective, easy-to-follow, Latin-inspired, calorie-burning dance fitness-party. • Zumba Fitness has moved millions of people toward joy and health.

  3. Zumba History • Alberto "Beto" Perez was the founder of this “happy accident.” • Zumba was created and started in 2001 and since then the Zumba program has grown to become the world's largest – and most successful – dance-fitness program. • Zumba has more than 14 million people of all shapes, sizes and ages taking weekly Zumba classes in over 140,000 locations across more than 150 countries.

  4. The Original “Fitness Party” • As a fitness instructor in his native Cali, Colombia, Beto's life took an unexpected turn one fateful day in the mid-'90s when he darted off to teach an aerobics class and forgot his traditional aerobics music. He improvised using his own mix of music from tapes he had in his backpack (salsa and merengue music he grew up with). • Spontaneously he created a new kind of dance-fitness, one that focused on letting the music move you (instead of counting reps over the music). Energy electrified the room; people couldn't stop smiling. His class loved it! And on that day, a revolutionary new fitness concept was born – the Zumba® Fitness-Party.

  5. You Got Game? • In 2010, Zumba shook the ground (once again) by being the first branded fitness program to launch a video game on all three major gaming platforms: Wii, Xbox, and PS3. • Granny Does!

  7. It’s Not Only Fun, But Also Hits The F.I.T.T Principles • F=Frequency • I=Intensity • T=Type • T=Time

  8. Frequency • Frequency means how often we engage in the exercise or workout. Frequency is one of the most important principles, as it can determine whether we have a higher or lower probability of suffering from a chronic disease. Research has shown that although the health recommendation is to engage in at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise each week, those minutes spread out throughout the week are BEST, as it has been shown to decrease the chance of mortality and morbidity. • WHAT?? • It just means: spread out the minutes of exercise throughout the week. Take enough rest to let the body heal, but engage in enough exercise so the body can make adaptations. Pretty much, no exercise BINGEing sessions! • Best frequency for cardiovascular exercise : 3-5 sessions / week • Best frequency for resistance exercise (weight training) : 2-4 sessions/ week

  9. Intensity • Intensity means the amount of effort that should be invested in a particular exercise or workout. How hard we work! There has to be a balance between working the body intensely enough to allow for the body to achieve adaptations (and get stronger, fitter, sexier, etc.), with allowing the body adequate rest and not pushing the limits beyond its capacity. • Cardiovascular exercise:  measure HR maximums to determine where the 75-90% intensity is best. Take 220- your age. That number equals the approximate maximum heart rate (maxHR). To work at a high intensity, take .75-.90 x maxHR.  Moderate exercise would be 45%-65% of heart rate max (or .45-.65 x maxHR). • Resistance exercise : workload is the main measure of intensity….so number of reps, amount of weight lifted, number of sets, etc. This is VERY different for each individual!!

  10. TYPE • Type is whatever exercise or workout YOU want to do, and LIKE to do! • It is SO important that we engage in workouts and exercise that is not only happy and healthy for our bodies, but that it is something we genuinely like to do! • Thank goodness you are in Move & Groove and love to dance (cardio), so doing Zumba, will be swag. Zumba is motivating, fun, and gets your heart rate up nice and high! • Aerobic, Strength, Anerobic?

  11. TIME • Time is a very important consideration, as the body needs “time” to adapt, but too much of a good thing can be a very, very bad thing!! It vital that our bodies get exercise (um, hello chronic disease and obesity crisis!), but it is also vital that we don’t go overboard. • For cardiovascular exercise, it is best to get at least 20-30 minutes of moderate exercise daily. This could be a walk, ellipticizing, light swimming, or a light jog. It is not recommended to go above 60 minutes unless that person is highly trained, seeking to lose weight in a healthy manner, or training for an event. If we’re going to do cardio exercise above 60 minutes (which is not a bad thing), make sure to take/consume plenty of water and good carbs. • For resistance training, it is best to get at least 20-30 minutes 2-3/week. This allows for adequate time to work all the major muscle groups, and to allow for a day of rest in between sessions.

  12. Directions: Exit Ticket-Using complete thoughts and sentences, answer the following questions before leaving today. • Which part of the F.I.T.T. principle really stuck out to YOU?? • What are some goals in regards to F.I.T.T that YOU have??
