Zumba: A Low-Impact Weight Loss Option

Where are Zumba classes offered in the Lake Minnetonka area? Share details in the comments section.

The approach of summer is heating up the streets, lakes and trails of the Metro, but in one local gym,  a group of students are getting a head start on a near tropical experience. Led by Katherine McGraw, the students are learning the dance & workout grooves of Zumba. 

Zumba combines the dance moves of salsa, tango, cha-cha with a 60-minute workout. Katherine explained that the styles are great exercise because they develop the core muscles. The range of dance moves work against muscle memory, which increases the calorie burn of the workout.
