Let’s Try Out STRONG by Zumba

LBeautiful Saturday morning to give a try with STRONG by Zumba. I have been a licensed instructor for STRONG for almost two years and I wanted to give it a try with FiA.

Layout of STRONG 

STRONG has four quadrants. Quadrant 1 (Ignite) is low intensity, just getting the heart rate up. Quadrant 2 (Fire Up) is a little more intense, increasing cardio. Quadrant 3 (Push Your Limits) is the peak of the cardio. Quadrant 4 (Floorplay) is bringing the intensity down with ab work on the mats.

The Thang 

Warm Up: Included squats, lunges, plank walkouts and various stretches to get the blood flowing and the body loose.
