WHAT IS ZUMBA GOLD?

ZUMBA GOLD is a lower intensity version of ZUMBA. It is perfect for active older adults and beginning participants. It's also great for anyone that loves ZUMBA and just wants a less strenuous workout. ZUMBA GOLD can be further modified for populations that may need modifications for success, such as participants that need to do exercises from a chair.  It is fun, easy and effective. It's great for the mind, body and soul!

The main difference between ZUMBA and ZUMBA GOLD is that ZUMBA GOLD classes are shorter, have longer warm-up and cool down periods, and are done at a lower intensity.
