I tried my first Zumba class today. As an uncoordinated exercise phobe I wasn't looking forward to it.

Zumba Fitness was billed as the Latin-inspired dance-fitness program that blends red-hot international music and contagious steps to form a fitness-party.

The archive verdict was simple: surprisingly fun, sweaty, and recommended.

Keeping Beautiful's verdict

It was surprisingly fun! We did loads of different dances to various music, including belly dancing, booty shaking, and salsa style.

None of the coordination was difficult and I definitely worked up a sweat. There was a good atmosphere in the class and the teacher's spirit was contagious.

The hour flew past

I felt like it was a total-body workout, and the hour flew past.

Definitely recommended! 4.5/5.
