You can dance away any excess Christmas trimmings with a Zumba® workout at Barry Leisure Centre in new high-energy classes.
The Latin-inspired dance classes are being held every Thursday from 5pm to 6pm and are available to men and women aged 14 upwards.
Zumba® has become the worldwide fitness phenomenon of the last few years thanks to its mix of hypnotic dance rhythms and easy to follow dance moves. A google search of ‘Zumba’ brings up nearly six million web pages, showing just how popular and widespread the fitness sensation has become since it was created in Columbia a decade ago.
Zumba® is so effective because the routines feature aerobic interval training, combining fast and slow rhythms with moves that tone and sculpt the body. The classes target key areas such as glutes, legs, arms and abdominals, and are great for getting the heart rate up for burning calories. Zumba® also increases your flexibility.
Zumba® classes have proven to be extremely popular at Penarth Leisure Centre since they began there in the autumn, and it is hoped that the new weekly sessions at Barry Leisure Centre will also get local people dancing their way to fitness this New Year.
Places on the Zumba® classes can be booked in advance – for further details and for information about other fitness classes at the Vale of Glamorgan’s visit the leisure centre pages or call 01446 403000.
