Zumba Toning, unlike regular zumba, is designed not only to burn calories, but also to increase muscle strength and tone the figure. During training, light weights are used, or toning sticks that rattle like Latin maracas. This makes Zumba Toning an effective and fun way to lose weight and sculpt your figure.
Zumba Toningis a variation of the popular zumba, i.e. fitness exercises performed to the rhythm of Latin music. The difference between these two types of training is already indicated by the name itself: "toning" means more or less the same as firming, strengthening the muscles of the body. While regular Zumba focuses mainly on cardio exercises, Zumba Toning puts more emphasis on sculpting your figure. The combination of strength exercises with dancing gives better results in weight loss, and at the same time improves motor coordination and strengthens the condition.
Zumba Toning - what does the training look like?
Zumba Toning uses special 0.7 kg weights calledtoning sticks , which help to strengthen the muscles of the body, mainly the arms, thighs, buttocks and abdomen. The weights are lighter than regular dumbbells and are filled with sand that rattles inside with every movement. Training with toning sticks creates a sense of rhythm, increases muscle work and is a lot of fun.
A significant difference between Zumba Toning and a regular Zumba is the pace of training. Exercises in Zumba Toning are performed slower, which allows for more precise movements. The songs are calmer, but retain their hot, Latin character and are great motivating for effort and setting you in a good mood.
