We associated #GETACTIVE Fest with Zumba yet again this year, as it remains popular throughout the years and aside from its heart-health benefits, Zumba provides a workout for the whole body. The music is fast, upbeat and contagious, so you can’t help but keep moving. And since it takes place in a group setting, Zumba is by far one of the best ways to get your family and friends in on your “exercise routine” said Caryn Loh, Managing Director of Watsons Malaysia.
