It is also one of the best ways to lose weight and stay healthy and fit. 

• Wear Comfortable Attire: It is important to wear something that is easy to move in and is comfortable. Your clothes should be lightweight and should handle sweat. Do not forget to carry a towel and a water bottle when you attend your Zumba class.

• Wear shoes with low tread: You will need shoes with low tread, as they will help you to move easily and will support the moves. You can wear dance sneakers or cross trainers.

• Start out with two-three classes per week: Your body needs to build stamina and endurance for Zumba, so two or three classes per week are advisable if you are just starting. You can increase the number of classes you attend in a week as your body starts getting used to it.

• Eat something light before your class: You need to eat something light like nuts or fruits before you attend your Zumba class as you need to charge up your body for the workout. You can eat a meal 2 hours prior to your Zumba class.

• Drink water 20mins before the class: It is essential to hydrate yourself but avoid drinking water just before you start your class. Drinking water 20 minutes before the class is recommended.
