My wife loves Zumba, but with our work schedules, she isn’t able to always make it to the classes at the gym. She rounded up some of her favorite full-length Zumba routines that she found on YouTube and offered to share them with you today- including a step-by-step instruction video for some of the moves and even a great video for beginners.

Always wanted to try Zumba but not too sure where to start? These Latin dance workouts combine easy-to-follow moves into a killer at-home cardio session. All you need is about 30 minutes to get that blood pumping, burn calories, and fit in a serious cardio workout.

Scroll down to find a Zumba workout you can do at home, press play and follow along with one of these workout videos.

Zumba can help you burn calories and lose weight as long as you are eating right. If you burn a few hundred calories per day through exercise and eat about 500 calories less per day, then you can realistically lose 1-2 pounds per week. This will help you lose unwanted body fat in all areas, even belly fat.

If you want to include this Zumba workout as part of your regular fitness program, I would recommend to do it 1-2 times per week for your cardio. Cardiovascular exercise, combined with consistent strength training and regular core exercise are great ways to help you lose belly fat.

PS – If you are looking to buy any Zumba DVD’s, they have great prices on Amazon!

How to get rid of muscle knots – neck, shoulders, and back

March 10, 2020

How do you get rid of muscle knots? What are muscle knots? Why do you get muscle knots? 10 simple things you can do right now at home to eliminate your muscle knots. Learn all about this common condition in your neck, shoulders, and back from the doctor of physical therapy at Tone-and-Tighten.com.

HOW TO GET RID OF MUSCLE KNOTS

Heat – promotes blood flow and relaxation.
Stretching – promotes tissue elongation and relaxation in the knotted area.
Exercise – fatigues the area and helps the muscle to “reset”.
Postural corrections – stretching and strengthening exercises to correct posture and eliminate the strain causing the knot in the first place.
Massage – promotes relaxation and blood flow into an area.
Trigger point therapy – causes the muscle knot to “release”.

WHAT ARE MUSCLE KNOTS?

Muscle knots are hard, sensitive areas in our muscles where the muscle is in a shortened, contracted state even when the muscle is supposed to be at rest.

These muscle knots are commonly found in our neck, shoulders, upper back, and hips and are a common condition that affect millions of people everyday.

These tight areas of contracted muscle are also referred to as “trigger points” as oftentimes touching these areas can “trigger” pain in different location in your body.

Muscle knots can cause a painful, aching sensation in the muscle that can refer to nearby joints as well. When you touch it it feels tight and contracted despite your efforts to relax that area.

Muscle knots can also feel swollen and inflamed and can contribute to other associated problems including headaches, stress, anxiety, and difficulty sleeping.

Muscle knots are a common condition that I see in patients in my physical therapy clinic all the time. Fortunately there’s a lot that you can do about them to treat them safely and effectively right at home!

Today I wanted to share some of my favorite tips, tricks, and exercises to help you get rid of muscle knots in your neck, shoulders, and upper back. I’ve also included video demonstration of each of these methods to ensure you do them correctly and maximize your outcomes….
