ZUMBA toning
ZUMBA toning uses simpler choreography than normal ZUMBA and incorporates lightweight maraca-like toning sticks to encourage you to make conscious muscle contractions, focusing on the arms and back.
Lower body moves and core exercises are added to various routines to get an all-over body workout.

Bring your own toning sticks
I have plenty of toning sticks available to hire in my classes or you are welcome to bring your own.
Hand weights are not recommended due to some of the movements, as there is no give in some of the more dancey movements and you're unable to shake the hand weights or bang them together!
But you are welcome to bring your own light hand weights as an alternative and just rest the hand weights on your body (hips, shoulders) when we do funky stuff with our toning sticks.
They should weigh around 450 g / 1 lb each for beginners, up to 1.13 kg / 2.5 lbs if you are used to handling heavier hand weights / want to progress.
Make your own toning sticks
1. Grab 2 small plastic drinking water bottles (empty) - make sure you can hold them comfortably in your hand.
2. Fill them with rice (uncooked!) or sand so they each weigh 450g/1lb.
