Zumba Toning - FAQs and Info

What is Zumba Toning? 
Toning sticks: If you need to purchase toning sticks (highly recommended), please contact Sandy and express interest at least 2 weeks prior to your start date. You may use a 1-3 lb. weight but if you use hand weights you MAY NOT shake them - this is for your own safety and injury prevention.
Zumba Toning FAQs
What do I need to bring to Zumba Toning?
If it's your first time to Zumba Toning, and you just want to try it out first, I would suggest bringing a 1 or 2 lb. hand held weight. I do have several pairs of 1 lb. toning sticks available for borrowing your first or second time.
What about Zumba Toning Sticks?
Two different sets are available. 1 lb. toning sticks are $20, and 2.5 lb. toning sticks are $25. I suggest that you take class with a 1 or 2 lb. weight first. Once you have acquired good form and are sure you need more of a challenge, talk to me about the 2.5 lb. sticks.
What is the difference between Zumba Fitness and Zumba Toning?
Zumba Fitness is mostly a cardiovascular class with some toning, but Zumba Toning is a muscular endurance plus cardiovascular class which can blast many more calories and challenge your body in new ways. The Zumba Toning party is different than that of regular Zumba Fitness classes, but you will definitely feel the burn!
Worried about "bulking up?
It's nearly impossible bulk up without doing it on purpose. You won't bulk up in Zumba Toning.
What if I don't have any weight-lifting experience?
During the Toning class format, I will give you easy-to-understand, plain English cues to improve and perfect your form, giving you the best possible workout. I will guide you verbally to correct form since I use a wireless microphone to teach this class. I will not point you out, however, as I will give the cue to the entire class when I see that correction is needed.
How much does Zumba Toning cost?
Zumba Toning is a specialty class, so it does cost more than regular Zumba. Classes are $8 for walk-in, $7 with a punch card.
*For the month of April, a LIMITED supply of Toning punch cards is available for $25, making classes $5! Limit one per student.
Why does Zumba Toning cost more than Zumba Fitness?
Zumba Toning is a specialty class, which requires more personal attention to each student than does regular Zumba. Also, instructor preparation in terms of training and preparation for class is increased.
What areas are worked on in Zumba Toning?
In Zumba Toning, we focus a lot on the upper body: the chest, back, arms, but of course we also hit up the abdominals, obliques, and we burn up the legs too!
Are there any special considerations for taking a Zumba Toning class?
For Zumba Toning, you may want to have taken regular Zumba before so that you are familiar with many of the steps.
Do I have to register in advance to take a Zumba Toning class?
Currently, no, although you may have to in the future as class sizes grow, because the instructor has to monitor for safety and form more specifically than in regular Zumba.

" I have been taking Sandy's toning class on Saturday morning, and all I can say is wow! It does make a difference! You get toning and cardio benefit in one class. I love it and this is something that I enjoy and will get up early on a Saturday morning for. I am losing inches like crazy and recently had to go shopping for clothes again. Size 12 pants but those are now getting loose too and had to get smaller bras since I have lost almost all of my back fat that I used to have and hated and my arms are looking much better too. I feel stronger and have more endurance. I have about 15 lbs to lose before I get to my goal. Thanks a bunch Sandy for bringing Zumba to Enola! "

" Before trying Zumba Toning, I didn't think that a toning class would provide the challenge or results that I was looking for. But as I heard more about the benefits from people who had taken the class, I decided to give it a try. It only took one class to realize that Zumba Toning is a blast and it doesn't stop with the arms. It works the thighs, butt and abs too! Adding Zumba Toning to my regular weekly Zumba classes has accelerated my fat loss and muscle strength. After only one month, I can already feel the difference in my clothes!
Thanks, Sandy, for offering a truly fun and effective work out routine. Keep doing what you do! I love it and it works! "

" I've been taking Sandy's toning classes since she started them & I can't tell you how much I enjoy it. I can see and feel the difference since using the 2 1/2 lb. weights. And, I'm looking forward to warm weather when I'll be able to see how toning helps my golf game - I know I'm more flexible and I'm hoping any additional muscle strength will help me with distance. Combining Toning with the regular classes was the best thing for me giving me the strength training I needed along with the cardio workout.
I never liked to exercise - I got bored very quickly so finally at 55+ I found something I really enjoy! I take Sandy's classes at least 3 times a week - love the double on Saturday mornings - never boring - always fun! "
