Zumba Tips and Advice For Fitness Enthusiasts

Read the information below prior to making choices for your fitness classes and spending an exuberant amount of money.


LICENSED OR UNLAWFUL?
There are more and more incidents on the market today where people are pretending to be legitimate Zumba® instructors and are making money conducting Zumba® classes, when in fact they are not licensed by Zumba® LLC and are illegal. Zumba® licenses expire after 1 (one) year of the date of the initial certification unless the instructor becomes a ZIN member. To determine if a Zumba® instructor is licensed or not, simply visit the official Zumba® web site and punch-in the instructor's name to see if it is in the database. If the name does not come up, the instructor is unlicensed and is unlawfully conducting Zumba® classes: http://www.zumba.com/en-US/instructor


FACT OR FICTION? - DON’T BE GULLIBLE!
Some accredit themselves with big titles to charge more for their classes i.e. you are simply being ripped off. Make sure that the "big titles" you see such as "PROFESSIONAL DANCER" or "INTERNATIONAL INSTRUCTOR" are FACTUAL and SUBSTANTIATED. Make sure that you see an official Certificate of Completion by a Professional Dance Institution to substantiate such claim. Zumba® is an international program in the sense that every licensed Zumba® instructor who is ZIN (Zumba® Instructor Network) member can teach anywhere in the world - should they go on a personal pleasure trip. An official "International Zumba® Instructor" is called ZES (Zumba® Education Specialist) and is directly hired by ZUMBA® LLC. Visit an instructor’s official Zumba® profile to find out if he/she is ZIN or ZES.

HEALTH CONCERN
High temperatures are expected in the next coming weeks. Cardio exercies such as aerobics and Zumba® is a strenuous physical activity and when you dance your body temperature rises. Taking cardio fitness classes outdoors can be of potential danger to your health as exposure to the sun can increase temperatures still more and result in heat stroke. Think twice before you potentially risk your health and take cardio fitness classes at facilities with air-conditioning.

How Heat Affects Your Body
By Mayo Clinic Staff

"Exercising in hot weather puts extra stress on your body. If you don't take care when exercising in the heat, you risk serious illness. Both the exercise itself and the air temperature increase your core body temperature. To help cool itself, your body sends more blood to circulate through your skin. This leaves less blood for your muscles, which in turn increases your heart rate. If the humidity also is high, your body faces added stress because sweat doesn't readily evaporate from your skin. That pushes your body temperature even higher."

Heat-Related Illness
"Under normal conditions, your skin, blood vessels and perspiration level adjust to the heat. But these natural cooling systems may fail if you're exposed to high temperatures and humidity for too long, you sweat heavily and you don't drink enough fluids. The result may be a heat-related illness. Heat-related illnesses occur along a spectrum, starting out mild but worsening if left untreated. Heat illnesses include:

Heat Cramps
Heat cramps are painful muscle contractions, mainly affecting the calves, quadriceps and abdominals. Affected muscles may feel firm to the touch. Your body temperature may be normal.

Heat Exhaustion
With heat exhaustion, your body temperature rises as high as 104 F (40 C) and you may experience nausea, vomiting, headache, fainting, weakness and cold, clammy skin. If left untreated, this can lead to heatstroke.

Heatstroke
Heatstroke is a life-threatening emergency condition that occurs when your body temperature is greater than 104 F (40 C). Your skin may be hot, but your body may stop sweating to help cool itself. You may develop confusion and irritability. You need immediate medical attention to prevent brain damage, organ failure or even death."
