      Hello, I am a 26 years old female. I haven’t continued my Zumba classes for two years. Earlier I was pregnant then I was diagnosed with cervical pain. I had pain in my neck and back. I am in better condition than before. I want to resume my Zumba classes. Can I?

        @khushal Hello, Zumba is a fun way to burn off energy and simultaneously learn how to dance. There's a lot of movement of the spine, especially of the lower back, which is an often-injured area. The dance moves also have twisting of both the upper and lower half of your body. Twisting is a vulnerable movement for your spine because it's not designed to rotate more than 30 degrees to either the left or right. There are also different forms of Zumba that might be easier on your back. Aqua Zumba, where you dance in the water, is much lower-impact and can take some of the pressure off of your back. There's also resistance from the water which will slow your movements down, letting you tune in to your back and figure out what hurts and what doesn't. Consult a doctor before signing in for such classes.
