No.

The older you are, the more sense it makes to keep track of how hard you're working out. You can't aim for the same peak heartrate at 40 as you could at 20. But unless you have a medical reason to be careful, you should still push as hard (within your ability) as a younger person would push (within his ability).

How old should you be to be in zumba fitness?

There are Zumbatonics classes for 4-12yr olds. I took my granddaughter to a couple of my Zumba classes when she visited me this summer. She enjoyed it but found it strenuous. This had more to do with her seditary lifestyle. After all, I am over 60 and do 4 classes a week. I think it is a great way to get children to exercise. Music they can relate to and gives them confidence.
