Zumba Gold-Toning

The Zumba® Gold-Toning program combines the enticing international rhythms of the Zumba Gold® program with the strength-training techniques of the Zumba® Toning program, creating an easy-to-follow, health-boosting dance-fitness program for the active older adult as well as beginners, and those returning to physical activity.

Choreography is designed to incorporate modified dynamic lightweight resistance training using one to two pound hand weights with the objective of helping participants prevent age-related bone loss, increase muscle strength and definition, decrease body fat and improve mobility, posture, coordination and cognition.

If you know someone who is interested in taking a Zumba® Fitness class, but has been a little concerned about their ability to keep up with the faster pace common in the standard Zumba® Fitness class, please encourage them to give Zumba® Gold-Toning a try.
