Zumba Skirts Make Exercise Fun

By Jaclyn Hurley


Exercising is a necessity for good physical health but quite often, it is something many people look forward to with a sense of dread. It is an activity that almost everyone makes a resolution to do more of, yet few actually stick with it for long. However, it becomes more enjoyable when moving to fast paced music and wearing fun gear like Zumba skirts laden with coins.

Zumba is a fitness sensation that is motivating more people to get up and have fun while doing aerobics. The movement started in Colombia and takes aspects of martial arts, exercise and several dance forms and combines them into one enjoyable workout routine that strongly resembles a party. The Latin energy infused in the moves gets individuals excited to burn calories.

This program varies from others in that is does not target people belonging to a specific gender, size, shape, age, background or ability level. The choreography of the routines are made up of parts from different genres including Bollywood, hip-hop, salsa, mambo, samba, meringue and belly dancing, blended with lunges, squats and a few martial arts moves. The music starts and the instructor leads the class in an adrenaline filled workout party.

It is important that one dress properly when participating in this workout because of the excessive action. The best clothing choices are shirts and pants that are effective at absorbing sweat and that fit comfortably without being tight or binding. Shoes should be made designed for physical activity, easy pivoting and provide adequate support.

A lot of women find it a lot of fun to accent their workout clothing by adding a bit of flair around their middles. A scarf wrapped around the waist and serving as a skirt, accentuates the movements of the hips because this garment is embellished with metal coins, beads, sequins or fringe. This style is inspired by the wraps traditionally worn by belly dancers.

This garment has a truly versatile nature, which is one thing that makes it so appealing. They are normally triangular and made from easy and lightweight materials like silk, sheers and rayon, or they may be crocheted from thin yarns. Practically all body types can be fitted with these items and they are available in many styles from plain colors with no adornments all the way to bright hues and elaborate embellishments.

When not being used for working out, these garments are versatile enough to serve other fashion purposes. They are often worn as accents for other outfits, as shawls and even as an alluring bathing suit cover up. The decorative nature of most styles make these pieces perfectly suited to function as glamorous head wrap or turban for women who enjoy a touch of the exotic.

It may be difficult for most people to find the motivation required to participate in regular exercise practices, but many find that they are excited to take part in the innovative routines that mix dance, music and aerobics. A great many health risk can be reduced by becoming more active. Frequent exercising strengthens the heart, tones bodies, helps manage weight and increases adrenaline which is a great mood booster.
