How difficult is Zumba DVD? Is it hard on the joints, like a lot of jumping around?

No, it's not a a lot of jumping. It's a combination of traditional aerobics and dance. Very fun, and very easy to adjust for lower impact if needed.

zumba DVD is very low intensity compared to classes. i would sincererly recommend whomever interested in Zumba to not judge it purely by the videos. Instructors has a lot more song variations and some more "known songs" as well so you can sing along if you wanted to. Yes you can do low intensity substitutes instead of high intensity. Like if the choreo calls for jumping jacks or twist jumps you can just move your feet side ways or just swivel around. It is very adaptable.

Basically the first rule of zumba is : Always be moving around. Second rule is: if you cant do the choreo then march in place - refer to rule 1!
