FITNESS workouts need not be a boring affair.

Ron Antonio, a member of the international Zumba Instructor Network (ZIN), combines music, dancing and singing in his Zumba parties.

Backing him up are Mr. Cy, a reggae performer based in Cameroon in Africa, and Maria Herrera, an international hip-hop artist.

His recent Zumba events included a successful collaboration with Jung Da-Yeon, Asia’s Fitness Star from South Korea, held last April at Market! Market! Considered one of the country’s biggest and most exciting fitness collaborations in recent years, the event built his claim as the Philippines’ Celebrity Zumba Master.

On Sept. 25, Antonio will hold another event, the “Zumba Party Extreme” at Market! Market! Taguig.

There will be live vocal performances by Antonio, Mr. Cy and Herrera. It will be a fusion of Latin music and pop hits where Antonio will lead participants in a massive calorie-burning Zumba party.

Antonio also owns and manages a dance and fitness studio, RADS GX in Better Living, Parañaque City.

Zumba is one of the most popular forms of cardiovascular exercises.
