Can't handle that belly fat hanging around your tummy all day? Spanx is no more a savior in stretchy disguise? And, nightmares of your instructor wanting you to do ab-workouts at 6 am keep getting more and more vivid?
You need a fun twist: India's only Zumba Education Specialist, Sucheta Pal, gives you 5 variations of Zumba that can help you achieve tummy-friendly flat abs.
Salsa
Engage your core and literally suck in your tummy while acing Salsa moves. According to Pal, this makes it much more effective and shows results sooner.
Reggaeton
Reggaeton moves can be a bit intense requiring high energy levels. "The trick is to raise your knees higher while doing the steps. The higher you raise your knee, the more work on those abs. It's more fun this way too!" says Pal.
Aqua workouts
Aqua Zumba is a class format that combines some of the traditional elements of aqua fitness classes with the upbeat, Latin-infused dance moves and music Zumba is known for. "It's Zumba in a pool where you work against the force of the water, thus making it very effective without making it very difficult," explains Pal.
Become a professional
Anyone can sign up to train for becoming a Zumba instructor. The biggest advantage of becoming an instructor is the ZIN (Zumba Instructor Network) DVDs. "They help you break down the moves, understand them better and thus, absolutely kill it during your workout as you appreciate the technical aspects even more."
Keep on moving
Zumba's quick changes from Salsa to Cumbia or Merengue to Hip-hop may leave you confused, but the key to burning more belly fat is to move your body. "Don't stop and focus on lifting your knees, squatting deeply or just jogging in place," Pal signs off.
