Instead of sweating it out on a treadmill, Divya Dutta is shedding weight by following Zumba, a dance-fitness programme that combines aerobic and dance.

The 35-year-old, recently seen in director Sonam Nair's teenage drama "Gippi", is following the dance-exercise programme invented by Colombian dancer-choreographer Alberto "Beto" Perez in the 1990s.

"Hectic Zumba started now! On heavy duty workout mode! So proud of myself! Lazy me is motivated, " Divya posted on Twitter.
