How hard do I need to work out??

Ever wonder how much you need to work out to burn off that fast food you had earlier in the day? Or that piece of chocolate that called your name all day long? Well with Zumba you should be able to burn a minimum of 500 calories. I know it doesn't sound possible but it does happen. That is why it's very important that we do each step in the routine. It doesn't matter if you do it at low impact or high impact the goal is to keep moving. So remember ladies, each time you attend class the amount of energy you put into the routine will be the amount of calories you burn.

I know we don't always like the songs I pick but I promise that each move I put in serves a purpose. I've attached a link that gives a little info on putting all you got into your workouts. I hope it helps :)
