That's right, It's time to Zumba with Bootique Fitness!! Loving fitness as I do, I am always game to mixing up my workouts and fitness fun! My friend Jaylin Allen, Founder of Bootique Fitness and Zumba Instructor recently invited me to join in on her Thursday night class at the Mind, Body, Soul Dance Studio. Zumba is an exhilarating, effective, easy-to-follow, Latin-inspired, calorie-burning dance fitnessthat is designed for everyone. As Jaylin says "Zumba is a great way for dancers and non dancers to come together for pure cardio that is so much fun." No experience is necessary when it comes to Zumba. At the beginning of each song the instructor will show basic moves and as the musics beats catching on is easy. The key to Zumba is to keep the legs moving for a pure cardio workout. Zumba not only helps build cardio endurance, but also works your core and arms. By the time I was done with the hour long dance party shaking my bum, I could feel the burn in my quads, hamstrings, and abs!

Bootique Fitness is an outdoor boot camp geared towards women of all ages and fitness levels with 5 locations in San Diego: Mission Bay Park, La Jolla, Balboa Park, Scripps Ranch and Downtown. I have taken their boot camp class on many occasion and absolutely LOVE it. The instructors are very personable, giving participants an beginners, intermediate and advance way to perform each workout, paying special attention to form and safety. This allows each participant to perform each exercise at an intensity level they are comfortable with. To learn more about Bootique Fitness and to view their class schedule please visit their website.
