Zumba classes are awesome

Zumba Classes are awesome! I just started taking zumba classes and they are awesome. You can lose between 500 - 800 calories in one hour. The best part is the hour passes by so fast. Has anyone else had success with this class?

I haven't gone to any classes but I did buy the zumba DVD's (I work out at home).. just finished doing a Sculpt and Tone session as a matter of fact. I have been alternating these with Shaun T's Rocking Body workout and love them both. They have kept my interest for over 2 months now.. and they still give me a really good workout. Good luck!

Zumba is good for cardio, and that's about it. I don't think it does much for toning purposes.

I LOVE ZUMBA!! I think it really depends on the instructor though on how good a workout you get. My normal instructor is SUPER peppy and goes faster and does hard moves that are higher impact than some of the subs she's had :-)

Yes! Just came home from one : ) Been doing Zumba for about 6 months and I'd say it has toned me and is good for cardio but that's my opinion. So much fun! Keep it up! It's so worth it!

I had the DVD from long time ago, I really enjoy, it seem like you are party!, plus you burn a lot of calories.

Good Luck!

I totally love Zumba classes. The calorie burn is excellent and its a blast. And YES, the time really does fly. I have to remember that I'm not young anymore though. LOL

Zumba classes are so fun and I can't speak for everyone but if definitely works and tone my mid section which is my trouble area and I love it. Plus I know a lady who has lost 35lbs in 3mnths from doing only Zumba and eating well of course but no other working out!!

Something new for me to try out?? I've never heard of Zumba before! Where can I get the DVD (s) at?

LOVE my zumba class. next week start a second day for twice a week! we have two instructors,one goes hard core crazy and the other is a notch down from that which i can keep up with better.

i disagree about muscle tone...it's not the same as weight training and other resistance training for muscles, however my waist is smaller, my arms are tighter. so there is some benefit :flowerforyou:

I gave it a shot a few months ago... and couldn't stop laughing...
I was actually surprised that I broke a sweat... I can see the appeal... and would do it again hehe...

Zumba is a great workout. One of my high school classmates teaches classes here locally.

I also have the DVDs .....www.zumba.com and I also do real zumba instructor lead Youtube videos. Try typing in Zumba Hickory, NC. Then create a playlist for like 30 mins. Instant Zumba class. Good luck!

they are amazing! I do zumba then hit the weights by the end of my workout i feel more accomplished then ever! I would love to become an instructor!

You can check with your local parks and recs department. I prefer the class over the video because other people motivate me vs videos. Plus it can be a great girls nite out event. I'm one week new in to this website and see that we have both lost the same amount of weight (5lbs!!!) . How long have you been with this site and how is it working for you?

There is Zumba toning now as well. I teach it to my classes, we use small weights and toning sticks, focus on core exercises and target muscle groups
