Summary

This study will test whether a 4-month Zumba program can improve heart health, hormone levels, and body composition in overweight and obese women, both before and after menopause. About 73 women will be randomly assigned to either Zumba classes or no exercise. Researchers will measure changes in weight, waist size, blood markers, and fitness.
