Zumba® appeals to people's wish to enjoy themselves while exercising as well as lose weight and improve their overall fitness, flexibility, and endurance. The program's official slogan is “Ditch the Workout, Join the Party!” Some forms of Zumba involve resistance training intended to build strength while the more basic forms are lower impact and usually slower paced. Because there are a number of different types of Zumba classes aimed at different age groups and levels of fitness, people's motivations for participating vary.
