Latin and Salsa classes focus on exercising virtually all major muscle groups, including the heart. The gluteals, hamstrings, quadriceps, calves and core area will be exercised relatively aggressively in order to perform the various step sequences.
The upper body and arms must maintain specific positions, so they will receive a workout as well, albeit to a lesser degree.
The types of movements associated with the various Latin and Salsa dance styles will also improve flexibility, balance and coordination. Increases in flexibility will promote improvements in blood and oxygen flow into the muscle tissue and the flushing of toxins, essentially helping to cleanse your body.
Gains in balance and coordination are beneficial in performing daily tasks and other physical activities with less effort and a reduced probability of injury.
