Zumba transforms exercise into a lively dance party, combining upbeat music with dynamic routines that make working out fun and exciting rather than mundane. This enjoyable approach keeps participants motivated and eager for each session. Additionally, Zumba’s high-energy routines are highly effective for weight loss, as they can burn between 500 to 1000 calories per hour. This makes Zumba an excellent choice for those looking to shed pounds and maintain a healthy weight while having a great time. The combination of enjoyment and efficiency ensures that Zumba is both a beneficial and engaging workout option.

​

Before the actual Zumba session begins, MPPIK has prepared some engaging Zumba mini game, including a face painting booth at Dewan Kembara 1. This booth is set up to increase student interest in the event by offering the chance to use different colors to draw cute stickers and designs on their faces. This fun activity not only enhances the festive atmosphere but also encourages more students to join and participate in the event.

Executive Secretary MPDIK, Camelia, Physics, 2 said adding face painting to events introduces an exciting and creative element, transforming participants' faces into captivating artworks. This artistic activity enables individuals to showcase their personality, hobbies, and emotions with one-of-a-kind designs and patterns.

Chairman of the sports and fitness club of Pearl Island gang, Penang, Jamaliah binti Mat Ros said Zumba is a mix of dance and music that allows students to exercise and move with the rhythm, ensuring the workout is fun and never boring. The combination of energetic music and dynamic dance routines keeps participants engaged and excited throughout the session, making exercise enjoyable and effective.

​

“It’s easy to attract professional dancers and instructors to fitness exercises because they dance very well, unlike the general population. That's why Zumba, which combines dance and exercise, is effective and enjoyable for everyone. Zumba is suitable for all ethnic groups. By simply following the easy music steps, your body will start moving. No matter what song is playing, your body will automatically dance and exercise together”, said Jamaliah. 

​

“The instructor is key to increasing student interest. A good instructor creates an engaging atmosphere, encouraging participants to enjoy the class and follow the steps. A proficient instructor can customize the class to fit each student's requirements. They offer adjustments tailored to various fitness levels, ensuring everyone feels included and adequately challenged”, said Jamaliah.

Zumba goes beyond just exercise, it embraces a holistic approach to health and happiness, urging individuals to prioritize not only physical fitness but also mental well-being and social connections in their lifestyle.
