What to wear and bring to a Zumba Gold class...

What to wear...

CLOTHING:

• Wear your workout gear or comfortable clothes that you can exercise in.

​SHOES:

• ​Make sure you wear closed-toe supportive shoes that allow you the freedom to pivot and twist, such as cross trainers, dance/jazz sneakers or Zumba shoes.
• You don't want shoes that have too much grip as these will "stick" to the floor and end up jarring your ankles, knees and/or hips.​
• Flip flops or sandals are not suitable.​​​

What to bring...

​​WATER:

• Bring your water bottle. There will be drink breaks during the class. You'll need to keep hydrated as you work out!

SWEAT TOWEL:

• You may also wish to bring a small towel to wipe down the sweat of having so much fun!
• You do not need a large towel or a yoga mat as there is no floor work in the class.

​LIGHT HAND WEIGHTS:
For the short toning section, you are welcome to bring light hand weights (maximum 1kg per hand). Zumba Gold combines light weights with dance-based movement, so heavier weights, which require slower, more controlled strength exercises, aren’t part of the class format.
