Jeanette Jenkins has officially been given the title master trainer for Zumba's new boot-camp-style Strong by Zumba [1] program, and it totally makes sense. The spunky, fun, and kickass trainer [2] is known for her empowering, crazy-challenging workouts [3]. The official press release [4] describes this new style of exercise as "music-led, high-intensity program that pairs together bodyweight and plyometric exercises," and it sounds right up our alley.
To kick things off, Jeanette has created this plank-jack challenge that is equal parts rhythm, cardio, and strength training. Sounds amazing, right? If you've been interested in Zumba [6] but you're not quite sure you enjoy dancing, then this is the perfect way to get into it. Get ready to sweat!
