Zumba Skirts Add Fun Flair

By Jaclyn Hurley


Exercising is a necessity for good physical health but quite often, it is something many people look forward to with a sense of dread. It is an activity that almost everyone makes a resolution to do more of, yet few actually stick with it for long. However, it becomes more enjoyable when moving to fast paced music and wearing fun gear like Zumba skirts laden with coins.

Zumba is a fitness sensation that is motivating more people to get up and have fun while doing aerobics. The movement started in Colombia and takes aspects of martial arts, exercise and several dance forms and combines them into one enjoyable workout routine that strongly resembles a party. The Latin energy infused in the moves gets individuals excited to burn calories.

While some programs target a specific audience, this one works well for all types of people regardless of their age, gender, size, shape, background or physical fitness. Mambo, meringue, salsa, samba, hip-hop and belly dancing are all combined along with lunges, squats and aspects of martial arts to make energetic routines. High impact music and fast moves increase the level of enjoyment.

Because there is so much action in this type of exercise, it is important to wear proper clothing. Pants and shirts should not be tight or binding and need to be breathable in order to wick away the sweat. The best shoes are those that are supportive and made for physical activity, allowing one to pivot around easily.

One way many find to increase their fun is to add some flair to their mid section over their workout attire. They wrap a scarf that has been embellished with fringe, sequins, beads or metal coins around their waists so that the movements of their hips during the routine are greatly exaggerated. The inspiration for this garment comes from the ones worn by traditional belly dancers.

This garment has a truly versatile nature, which is one thing that makes it so appealing. They are normally triangular and made from easy and lightweight materials like silk, sheers and rayon, or they may be crocheted from thin yarns. Practically all body types can be fitted with these items and they are available in many styles from plain colors with no adornments all the way to bright hues and elaborate embellishments.

When not being used for working out, these garments are versatile enough to serve other fashion purposes. They are often worn as accents for other outfits, as shawls and even as an alluring bathing suit cover up. The decorative nature of most styles make these pieces perfectly suited to function as glamorous head wrap or turban for women who enjoy a touch of the exotic.

It may be difficult for most people to find the motivation required to participate in regular exercise practices, but many find that they are excited to take part in the innovative routines that mix dance, music and aerobics. A great many health risk can be reduced by becoming more active. Frequent exercising strengthens the heart, tones bodies, helps manage weight and increases adrenaline which is a great mood booster.
