(For the active older adults)
The ZUMBA®Gold Fitness program is second to none. It is an innovative, fun and exciting program. It was designed for the active older adult, the true beginner, and/or people who are not used to exercising, or people who may be limited physically. The main difference between ZUMBA®Gold and ZUMBA®fitness class is ZUMBA®Gold is done at a lower intensity, not as fast, but it certainly is as fun. The same great Latin styles of music and dance are used.
This amazing program is very easy to follow, so anyone at any age will be able to do ZUMBA®Gold Fitness class. Dances that are specifically highlighted in this program include the Merengue, Salsa, Cha Cha, Cumbia, Salsa, Belly Dance, Flamenco, and Tango. Another program of ZUMBA®Gold Fitness includes a chair workout for people who are sedentary or wheelchair bound.
With the Baby Boomer population getting older and people living longer, the number of Americans over the age of 65 is expected to double within the next 30-35 years. It only makes sense that the ZUMBA® Gold Fitness program will continue to grow with the aging population and be extremely popular because of the fun and party like atmosphere and health benefits.
