In college forcing yourself to go to the gym may be the hardest thing you'll ever do. You hate it, but you have to go if you want to avoid gaining weight from all those Dhall desserts that you can't resist. If only there was a way to enjoy working out... BUT WAIT, there is! It's called Zumba and I assure you, it's the most fun you'll ever have at the gym.

It's an hour of dancing.

I don't know a college girl that doesn't love dancing. Whether it's at a lodge, club, or a basement where you're ankle deep in a mixture of beer, sweat and mud, we make it work. So just imagine, you get to dance for an hour and get a workout at the same time? Sign me up.

It actually works almost every part of your body.

The great thing about Zumba is that it seems like you're just dancing, but you're actually working out your legs, arms, core and any other body part you can think of. It might not seem like it at the time, but you'll be feeling it the next day.

It isn't a boring workout.

Even when you listen to music or watch TV, using the elliptical for an hour is still one of the most boring things on earth. Running on the treadmill? Still sucks. Running outside? A little more entertaining but still excruciating. Zumba? I don't even remember that I'm at the gym because I'm busting out dance moves like I'm at a downtown clab, except I'm wearing gym clothes. It's the best of both worlds!

You don't have to wear headphones.

Every time I try to wear headphones at the gym, they end up just getting in the way and being super annoying. But in a Zumba class, there's music blasting over the speakers, so no headphones needed here! And it's good music, too. Usually when I leave a class, I go straight home trying to find at least one song I heard.

It gives you a chance to perfect your dance moves.

It gives you a chance to learn new dance moves to break out next weekend. You can practice pop, locking and dropping it without being judged because 99 percent of the people in the class look just as absurd as you do.

So give Zumba a chance. It will be the most entertaining workout you've ever endured and it will give you some great moves to show off next time you're at the lodges. You'll look almost as good as Beyoncé, but not quite there yet. Give it a few more weeks of classes.
