Zumba Gold allows the older, active adult and the deconditioned exerciser to experience the same party atmosphere as regular Zumba while getting a great workout.
Zumba Gold may use a greater variety of “Zumba music” to relate to the special populations of the class. For example, for active older adults, Zumba Gold instructors may use Big Band, Country, Broadway tunes in addition to the pop, Latin and international flavours of music.
In some classes, the music may be lowered and the cueing is more verbal. In Zumba regular classes, the music volume is higher and the cueing is mainly non-verbal.
Zumba Gold may be just the right pace for those with injuries, especially those with knee problems or people who are new to exercise.
A Zumba Gold class will be shorter than a regular class. Usually 30 – 45 minutes. The moves will be slower and less intense than those in a regular Zumba class.
It is great for the mind body and soul!!
