Zumba was created by complete fluke when fitness trainer Beto Perez accidentally forgot his aerobics music and had to improvise with the tapes he had in his car: traditional salsa and merengue.
You can lose up to 1000 calories per 1-hour class.
Here's a link to one of my classes (I'm not in camera range)

I can honestly say it has helped me. During the first month I noticed my midsection was a little smaller. It also helped in the flexibility area. I have arthritis and I'm not as stiff as I used to be. I recommend zumba.
