\"\"<\/a>Zumba, the Latin dance-inspired cardio class, is more popular than ever. Millions of Zumba <\/a><\/strong>DVDs have been sold and classes are filled with people having a blast while they work to burn calories.<\/p>\n

Zumba is a great and fun way to work your core, arms and legs, and to burn hundreds of calories a session, all while having fun. It’s no wonder that this craze has also gotten popular in celebrity circles.<\/p>\n

Jennifer Lopez<\/strong><\/p>\n

This Latin beauty has dancing in her blood, so it’s a perfectly logical fit that Jennifer Lopez <\/a><\/strong>would be drawn to the Latin rhythms of Zumba. Recently she was quoted as saying in an interview with Redbook magazine that “As women, we tend to give away a lot. We take care of a lot of people, and we can’t forget to take care of ourselves. If that means once a week you’re going to go off without the kids or without anybody… get a facial even if your sister thinks that’s selfish, or join a Zumba class, or take a painting class, or whatever, you’ve just got to do it.”<\/p>\n

Madonna<\/strong><\/p>\n

The ageless Material Girl has been linked to various fitness and spiritual movements. Another entertainer known for her dance moves, Zumba classes are offered at Madonna’s Hard Candy gyms<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Vivica A. Fox<\/strong><\/p>\n

This actress is not just a participant in Zumba, she’s been a spokesperson. In a Zumba infomercial, she said “Zumba is perfect for my lifestyle. You’re working out, and you almost feel like you’re not working out.”<\/p>\n

Jordin Sparks<\/strong><\/p>\n

The American Idol contestant lost 30 pounds<\/a><\/strong> by getting fit with, among other things, Zumba.<\/p>\n

“Something just clicked with me, and instead of sitting around talking about it I said, ‘I’m going to go hike that mountain!’ And it continued.\u00a0 I’ve been hiking and I’ve done a couple of runs. I also do Zumba. It’s so much fun!”<\/p>\n

Kirstie Alley<\/strong><\/p>\n

It’s all in the family for Kirstie Alley and her love for Zumba. She took part in a Zumba class that was led by her sister in Kansas.
