Abstract
Zumba® fitness class as a mix of low intensity and high intensity moves is a well-known exercise class. Zumba® combines fitness elements that include cardiorespiratory, muscle conditioning, balance and flexibility. Due to this fact measures of aerobic fitness, such as oxygen consumption (VO2max), should improve when participating in a Zumba® fitness class. Yoga on the other hand is seen as a calm form of exercise that is used for relaxation by targeting the mind and soul. Holding positions should increase muscle endurance and, along with the breathing techniques, should also fitness by increasing components like physical endurance, core strength and range of motion.
