I've heard good things about Zumba and I'm tempted to order the DVD's for it but don't want to waste my money. I lost a lot of weight in high school doing a dance exercise program so I'm thinking it'll be fun and might do the trick this time too. Anyone have it and love it? Or hate it? let me know what you think.

    I love the classes at my gym. It's so motivating to do it with a fun group of women. We really get into it. I'm not sure what the DVDs are like. Good luck!

    I will proudly admit that I am a Zumba addict! I take it three times a week at my local Y...and cannot get enough of it. I haven't tried any of the DVDs, but the classes are sooooo much fun. For me, I burn at least 500 in an hour class.

    I have the DVD's and go to class at a dance studio, I would recommend using your money to pay for classes at a GYM, Y, dance studio etc. I just feel like I get so much more out of the classes than I do the DVD's. I love going to class.

    I also would take zumba 3 times a week if I could. It really makes you sweat and tone. I am 48, and am moving better than I have in years. It is a style of dance that is centered around fitness and fun music. You can make most of the moves easier or harder. Lots of salsa, twisting, reaching, hips. Need to keep your core tight for the most benefit. Very fun. Are you thinking of trying it KristyKat??

    I borrowed the dvd's from a friend and fell in love with Zumba. I just ordered my own set of dvds yesterday. I can't wait to receive them! I've yet to try a live class, but I plan to in the very near future. I work at a University that offers the classes twice a week.
