Tips To Help Create Your Own Zumba Music Playlist


Would you prefer to make up your own Zumba music playlist that will then allow you to continue with this type of fitness regime in your own home? If you would then there are certain things that need to be considered to ensure that you select the right sorts of music to include in yours.  

In order to help you make some informed choices when choosing songs to add into your own Zumba music playlist we offer some tips below you may find useful. 

Tip 1 – Make sure that the songs you choose for your playlist are ones that have an upbeat feel to them. These will then help to stimulate you to move and in turn will help you to feel motivated to perform the various exercises and dance moves involved in such a workout.  

Of course you can stick with using music with a Latin based rhythm to them such as those used to dance the salsa, cha-cha, samba or merengue. However you may also want to consider using something a little more different such as some good old rock and roll tunes instead. 

Tip 2 – When you are creating your own Zumba music playlist remembers that you need to also include some much slower paced tunes in it. These are the ones that you will be working out to when performing such exercises as squats and push-ups during your workout. The slower the tunes will help to ensure that not only do you perform these exercises properly but will ensure that you use all the muscles more effectively.

The research discovered that (1) consistently maintaining a daily food record, (2) not missing meals, and (3) not eating outside (particularly at lunch) were the 3 most effective methods for quick fat loss.
The research, by Anne McTiernan, M.D., Ph.D. from Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center with the help of researchers from National Cancer Institute and Universities of Washington and Minnesota, is printed online in the Journal of Academy of Nutrition and Dietics in the July 16, 2012 issue.
This is the first research to investigate at the effect of a wide range of self-monitoring and diet-related habits and meal routines on weight change among obese and overweight postmenopausal women, according to a media report released by the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center.
Lead author of the research, Dr. McTiernan, said that when it comes to quick fat loss, proof from randomized, controlled trials evaluating various diets discovers that limiting total calories is a lot more crucial than diet composition like low-fat versus low-carbohydrate. Therefore, the particular goal of the research was to determine behaviors that backed the worldwide objective of calorie reduction, she stated.
Research Methodology
The research was centered on information gathered from 123 overweight-to-obese, sedentary, ages 50-75 Seattle-area women, in an on-going year-long dietary quick fat-loss cure research. The 123 women involved individuals randomly designated to two groups of the on-going research: diet only and exercise plus diet.
The research participants filled out a variety of questionnaires to calculate their dietary intake, particular eating-related weight-control techniques, and other self-monitoring meal patterns and behaviors. They also filled out a 120-item food-frequency questionnaire to evaluate dietary change from the outset to the conclusion of the research.
The participants were requested to document the foods they consumed every day in seven-day journals given every week by diet experts.
At the end of the research, participants in each group lost an average of 10.7% of their original weight, or 19 pounds, which achieved the objectives of the research.
When the researchers examined the particular behaviors and food-strategies documented by the participants, they discovered that 3 certain behaviors or habits were connected with the most weight loss.
Findings - The 3 Habits Connected with Biggest Weight Loss
Mainly, the researchers discovered that:
1. Women who maintained food journals regularly dropped around 6 pounds more compared to those who did not.
2. Women who noted passing up meals lost nearly 8 fewer pounds compared to women who did not.
3. Women who eat outside for lunch at least once a week dropped on average 5 fewer pounds compared to those who ate out less often (eating out frequently during all meal times was linked with less weight loss, but the strongest connections was found with lunch).
