The benefits of Curves Circuit with Zumba classes are numerous, according to Curves Director of Exercise and Research, Katie Mitchell. “This is definitely a boredom-busting workout,” said Mitchell. “There’s a lot going on to keep your attention and keep you motivated. You’re listening to high-energy music that just makes you want to move, watching to make sure you’re meeting your goals on the strength machines and training your body and your brain by learning new dance moves. And research shows that the dynamics of group exercise like the Curves Circuit with Zumba Fitness classes promotes attendance and lowers drop out rates, so people are more likely to stick with it”
All ages, fitness levels and dance abilities can participate in and benefit from Curves Circuit with Zumba Fitness classes. During the 30 minute class, participants work out on each Curves strength machine for one minute, alternating upper, lower and and core muscles After one minute, the music cues the participant to change stations on the circuit and she moves to an area between machines to do Zumba moves, which tone and sculpt the body while burning fat. A licensed Zumba instructor (Joscelynn Baio) from the the Zumba Instructor Network (ZIN) teaches simple, modified Zumba moves from the center of the circuit.
At the end of 30 minutes participants have completed one trip around the entire circuit, worked every major muscle group and achieved a fun, energetic cardio workout ending with a group stretch led by the Zumba instructor.
