When you can’t hit the gym, do Zumba at home!

The Importance of Movement

In AARP this month, they stated, “regular workouts boost immune function and lower inflammation. Exercise may be the most important lifestyle intervention you can add.”

I’m so glad they are reminding us seniors how important it is to move!

Exercise strengthens the muscles, which generate immunoprotective proteins called myokines that can have a curative and preventative effect on many diseases.  

Being active along with other healthy lifestyle choices like diet, stress relief, social interactions and sleep can all play a major role in fighting off infections and viruses.

And if we do become ill, a strong immune system working for us can help make the symptoms less severe and give us a better chance of recovery

The more you move, the stronger your body becomes and the more you boost that immune system.

Sooooo, why not get your cardio done in a fun Zumba class done at home?

Benefits of Doing Zumba At Home

Low pressure

I love working out at home because there’s no pressure–no one’s watching.

Which is especially great if you’re doing a dance workout.

Don’t know the moves? Who cares!

Just get moving, have fun and get that heart rate up. Your body will thank you.

Low cost

Youtube and the many other online platforms we have for accessing workout videos are such a gift!

Years ago, if you wanted to access a guided dance or aerobics workout, your only option was to go to the gym, which you would likely need a membership for or at least pay a fee for the class. 

An online Zumba video is FREE, so there’s no excuse not to try it!

Improved mood

Ever find yourself bumbling around the house around 3 p.m. feeling a little low? I know I’ve been there. 

Putting on a Zumba video (or any kind of workout), even just for five or ten minutes, produces endorphins which will lift your mood and leave you feeling ready to tackle the rest of your day. 

Convenience

Working out with videos is so great because you can do it any time–morning, noon, or night. 

You can even do what I did in my younger, busier years and do half of it in the morning, half at night! 

Whatever fits your schedule. 

So, let’s enjoy these many benefits together.

Come join me to help rev up your immune system and get strong.

Here’s to FEELING GOOD!
