If you’re looking for a workout that is as effective as it is enjoyable, then look no further than Zumba Fitness Exhilarate.
Created by Zumba Fitness, it certainly lives up to its name in that it will be one of the most exhilarating workouts you’ll ever do.
High energy and loads of fun, the driving music in Zumba Fitness Exhilarate will get you on your feet, moving and “dancing like nobody’s watching.”
My friend Liz had been doing Zumba for several months, and I’d lost count of the number of times she’d asked me to join her. I’m not exactly the most “out there” person, nor the most coordinated.
To say I was reluctant to take a Zumba class is an understatement. Frankly, the thought of dancing and jumping around with a roomful of strangers whooping, hollering and clapping their hands, filled me with dread.
But I could see the dramatic physical changes regular Zumba workouts had made to Liz’ physique, so I decided to go online and check out some Zumba workout DVDs. One I kept coming back to because of all the positive reviews was Zumba Fitness Exhilarate. I placed my order; it arrived a couple of days later, and I can’t say enough good things about it.

What to Expect from the Zumba Exhilarate Workout
The Zumba Fitness Exhilarate Workout doesn’t feel like a workout. That’s not to say it’s easy. I 
considered myself to be reasonably fit, and I initially found the cardio component quite challenging. The day after my first run-through, I knew my muscles had had a workout.
Many months have passed, and I still use the DVD in rotation with other forms of exercise, and it is still challenging enough to give me a great workout.
Zumba is customizable to suit an individual’s level of fitness. If you need a break, you can keep moving your hands and feet to the beat, then jump back into the routine after catching your breath. If you want more of a challenge, put more effort into the moves.
Do the Zumba Fitness Exhilarate Workout regularly, and you will quickly improve your muscle tone and lower your body fat.
What does the workout entail?
Zumba Fitness Exhilarate comprises two toning sticks and 7 DVDs. Toning sticks are similar to maracas, but they contain weights. Hold and shake them when doing the routines, and you will tone your muscles faster and burn more calories.
