Zumba Toning
While Zumba Fitness is a dance-fitness program that incorporates cardio exercise
using interval training,  Zumba
toning uses light resistance to help tone the body while
doing the same fun zumba workout.
Zumba Toning to sculpt and tone!
A Zumba toning class will use the same great music and dance moves as in a regular
zumba class but incorporates strength training. You will do additional fitness moves and
focus on certain body parts while using light weights.

Zumba toning uses light weights, from 1 to 3 pounds.  A zumba toning class may also
use "toning sticks."  These are light weights that shake like maracas. They come with the
zumba dvd set or your local instructor may have them for sale. With the use of weighted
toning sticks you can add specific fitness moves to target major muscle groups.

A Zumba Toning class will incorporate squats, lunges, overhead presses, bicep curls, and lateral raises, for
example.  Because the weights are so light you can still do your regular Zumba salsa, cumbia, merengue, samba
and other dance rhythms while getting a better calorie-burning and muscle toning workout.

Zumba toning is part of the zumba dvd set and is also taught by instructors who have been certified to teach it.
The Zumba Toning instructor workshop is a specialty program so there is a pre-requisite of being a licensed
zumba instructor.
