A Movement Snack to Loosen Up Those Hips

You ever walk into Zumba class feelin’ a lil’ stiff, like your body’s still clocked in at work or stuck in traffic on 480? Girl, same.

That’s why we swear by this quick lil’ pre-class warm-up we call a Movement Snack—it’s like a mini appetizer for your joints before the main dance-floor entrée.

And this one right here? It’s all about them hips.

How to Do It:

  • Plant those feet shoulder-width apart—grounded like the queen you are.

  • Start rollin’ those hips in slow, juicy circles. Feel every inch.

  • After 30 seconds, switch directions.

  • Bonus: Put on a dancehall track and let that beat talk to your body 🎶

Think of it as waking up your hips from their 9-to-5 nap.

You’re not just warming up—you’re unlocking flow, sensuality, and energy before class starts

Why It Works:

  • Loosens tight hip flexors (especially if you’ve been desk-bound all day).

  • Gets the blood flowing and preps your joints for bigger movements.

  • Makes you feel GOODT—and that confidence hits different when the music drops.

Whether you’re heading into a high-energy Zumba® class or need a mid-day vibe check in your kitchen, this Movement Snack brings that lil’ spark back to your body.

So go ‘head, hit play on your fav track, and give those hips the love they deserve. And next time you’re at Island Beats, you’ll already be ahead of the game—loose, lit, and ready to slay.

We embolden women navigating life changes to grow through movement, sisterhood, and self-discovery.
