BEST OF FITNESS CLASSES ZUMBA CLASS Elizabeth Bilka Executive Praducer of Elon Local News I @Elizabetli_Bilka Z UMBA IS AN EXERCISE class that feels less like a workout and more like a party. Participants learn different dance moves to songs from all around the world during class ses sions. Elon sophomore and Zumba instructor Noor Irshadat said the party atmosphere makes Zumba different from other exercise class es. “People want to go and have fun, destress a little bit and not worry about carrying weights or having to figure out a certain movement or trying to keep up with a certain exercise,” Irshadat said. Senior Elbe Anderson partici pated in a class and said it was a fun way to work out. “With Zumba, you’re just danc ing and you can go with friends, too, so it’s very fun,” Anderson said. “There isn’t like pressure to get the moves down or anything.” Campus Rec holds Zumba fit ness classes instructed by Irshadat at 6:45 p.m. on Wednesdays. Zumba is a st,la of workout that incorporates Latin-inspired dance moves to break a sweat while still having fun.
