How much zumba for fat loss?
- Thread starter Bithueere
- Start date
That would definitely be a good beginning, and better than doing nothing at all. So yeah – this is a good place to begin. Zumba is pretty demanding physically, so I think your plan should be enough by now – maybe later with additional conditioning you will seek to do more, but by now this should definitely be very helpful.
If you're diet was 'taken care of' surely you'd lose weight right? Toning up, as it were, will be helped by exercise for sure.
Start with 2 x 1-hour session on the Zumba. If you eat the same and don't lose weight, add another session, ditto with adding time.
As always a combination of a proper eating plan and exercise is best.

It would be a great start.
Once you get more comfortable exercising, I would also add in some weight training to your workout schedule.
Zumba is basically cardio. Cardio is great to burn calories but it doesn't build muscle and build the metabolism like weight training does.
3-4 days of weight training and 3-4 days of zumba per week would be an awesome number to shoot for

Women can train the exact same way men do. I would focus more on a rep range of say 8-15 per set with lower rest periods (maybe 45 seconds). That will do more for fat loss than strength training with low reps and long rest periods.
Women have all the same muscles that men do and should follow the same weight workout that a man would.
The only difference is that since a women's goal is to sculpt and tone her physique rather then build, she should train with slightly higher repetitions and shorter rest periods.
I agree with @muskate - more reps with lower weights, but in terms of exercises to carry out there is no difference. This, unless you got some individual issues that need to be taken in consideration.
