Strong by Zumba - description of classes

Strong by Zumba classes combine strength, plyometric, functional and cardio training in perfect sync with the music. Compared to classic zumba, dance-only movements are virtually eliminated in this training. Exercises work with the use of their own body weight, improving muscle tone and endurance.

Strong by Zumba is an intense workout - during the classes you can sweat and get fit. It is an ideal solution for people who like circuit training, ABS, ABT or currently fashionable crossfit. Strong by Zumba produces similar effects. The key issue, however, is the sense of rhythm. The exercises are usually done very quickly and the music gives the pace to the training. Thanks to energetic background sounds, participants are able to do more repetitions than by practicing without music. Every bend, jump or squat is reflected in the sounds.

Strong by Zumba and classic Zumba - differences

Despite having a few common features, Strong by Zumba differs significantly from classic zumba. Zumba classic:

  • is a moderate cardio training for people at different stages of their advancement in exercise;
  • focuses on having fun with Latin American music;
  • supports burning calories and improving the condition, but it does not allow you to achieve, for example, the effect of a strongly sculpted belly;
  • for long-training people it is (only) a good warm-up before the actual training.

For Strong by Zumba:

  • the music sets the pace and dictates the time of the sequences to be performed;
  • training is focused on sculpting specific parts of the body, e.g. abdomen, and modeling the entire figure;
  • the training is more intense than the classic Zumba, but it is also great for beginners - the level of classes is adjusted to the level of advancement of the participants.
