Zumba is an aerobic workout performed with Latin American dance movements. This is a great workout for those who may not enjoy the same old boring cardio but love to let loose to music. Zumba lets you get dancing with other people while getting a great workout!

Tai Chi involves low-impact, slow-paced martial arts movements and focuses on the mind-body connection. Tai Chi helps maintain and enhance balance and is a great way to stay active as you age.

Yoga is a practice of physical movements, focusing on breath and quieting the mind. Yoga can help build strength and flexibility and is often used for relaxation.

Pilates focuses on slow movements that work to stabilize and strengthen the core. Similar to yoga, Pilates uses the breath to build a mind-body connection throughout the workout. Pilates is a great workout for anyone to add to their routine to help balance out muscle instabilities.

Barre is inspired by ballet, yoga and Pilates moves. The workout involves high repetition, low weight movements while focusing on keeping your body still and strong. Barre helps build lean muscle, balance, flexibility and strength.

To get the most out of your workout, be sure to include variety. Don't get stuck in a rut of doing the same thing every day. More does not always mean better. Intense workouts will tear your muscles down and they need time to recover. Be sure to include other types of exercise into your weekly routine for the best results.
