What a way to spice up Zumba….sex!

10/19/12

My training today:

warm-up,  with stretch bands, Indian clubs, ring pushups, ring rows. 1000 meter on C2.

Safety squats: 8 sets of 5 reps. Not too heavy but set in hole for last rep and that is always a killer.

30 min on heavy bag.

            A young lady and a Zumba instructor in Maine made national news by being arrested for prostitution and tax evasion.  I often saw advertisements for Zumba classes all over my area, its seems like every gym has a program.  Zumba was a ethnic dance turned into a fitness craze by having fit young ladies gyrating  “like sweating to the oldies” in a more aggressive dance routine. However, this instructor ramped up the sex appeal, by offering real fornicating sex as part of her business. Not having first hand information on her business, but I can assume that her gym was the hottest in town!

            There is nothing wrong with Zumba as part of your fitness program, but I can’t see how it’s going to provide the other attributes like strength, mobility and progress programming you need to become fit. Some Zumba instructors have opted to augment their programs with adding hand weights, bands, and other movements to keep customers when they don’t lose 50 lbs of fat and look like a runway models. I can’t see men doing this form of exercise except to snag chicks or you will lose all your testosterone in one session. Also a 200lb housewife is counterindicated!
