Have you ever felt it is difficult to be consistent in your workouts when you exercise alone, but you can get through a 60-minute Zumba class and not realize how much you've sweat?
Individuals who start their fitness journey usually have a high level of motivation when they start and then after two weeks of working out, the excitement diminishes. The music repeats, the workouts repeat, the motivation loses its steam. This is where group class workouts like Zumba will not only be a fun way to move, but will ultimately get you to consistently increase your level of effort and intensity based on science.
Research on fitness shows that exercise with a group setting, individuals work harder and longer than individuals who are working out alone.
Why group energy in Zumba makes you work harder
Group energy is the heartbeat of Zumba. It turns exercise into an experience one filled with laughter, motivation, and music that moves both the body and soul.
- Motivation by Connection
When you witness others giving their maximum effort, your brain instinctively responds in a manner most resembling the effort of them and you become involuntarily compelled to match their pace in an effort to stay with the group. This feeling stimulates a sense of belonging and purpose suggesting a concerted effort, thus, it drives your motivation to continue on.
- Endorphin Synchrony
Research indicates that, those who exercise in a group experience increased-levels of released endorphins, or more commonly known as the 'happy hormones.' In the environment of Zumba, this phenomenon is accelerated due to everyone moving together to the same beat. Increased communal happiness reinforces individual effort to where the effort of an entire Zumba class feels liberating and less tedious.
- Positive Peer Pressure
In individual exercise, it is easy to slow down or complete the workout early in a Zumba class setting, it works the opposite way. With music playing in the background and colourful spirits surrounding you, your motivation becomes inherent, as individualistic enticing energy manifests towards everyone during the exercise; to push through the discomfort of movement again as an exercising person not because of relative competition but because of relative participation and like experience.
- Emotional Uplift and Support
Group energy also provides emotional support. When you dance with others, you are not just dancing! You are dancing to celebrate turn, express and release any stress together, and this feeling of joy creates habitual improvement and stimulation of confidence building over repeated classes.
- Enjoyment that Drives Improvement
Zumba changes the average “exercise” class into a high-energy dance party. The collective energy in the group will distract you from feeling tired - you will focus on how fun this is instead of feeling fatigued - all the while your body is burning calories, toning muscles, and improving your stamina without even thinking about it.
