Hello, has anyone tried Zumba? My neighbour has asked me to join her at a zumba class and i don't know what i'm letting myself in for. I've seen the commercials on TV and it looks like it could be fun - not sure i have the coordination though.

    Only on the Wii. But let me tell you it is FUN, FUN, FUN! I bet it would be even more fun in a life class where you have that energy coming from everyone.

    I love Zumba and I'm not coordinated either!!! You will eventually catch on though after about 5 classes. It's an awesome workout and fun :laugh:

    I have been to zumba many times and my friend Jacqui goes twice a week. It is quite a burn and lots of fun. Take lots and lots of water. You will sweat your butt off.

    I have gone to a class and absolutely loved it. I would love to go back to one but for schedule reasons, I have been able to. Anyway, I have about 100 pounds to lose and not necessarily the most coordinated person, but I was able to keep up. I may not have been doing the steps right but I was sweating and having fun, along with the rest of the people in the back with us. Enjoy it!

    Do it!!! Zumba is the best!! Burns a ton of calories and you don't have to know how to do it. You learn as you go and the more you do it the better you get and the more calories you burn! Latin fitness rocks!! I go 3 times a week and just got it for the Wii! Lot's of fun! You'll love it!!!!

    I love it! Have been doing it for a year and lost 45lbs. You just have to go at your own pace and find the instructor for you. All instructors are different.

    zumba is Awesome! Its a great workout, with great music. The work out is fun~ does not seem like workout or excersise. Makes me feel good! Good Luck I hope you enjoy~ They also do different work outs so you are not doing the same routine all the time.

    Hey thanks everyone for all your responses. I can feel the enthusiasm for zumba as i read through your messages. My first class is next week - I'll let you know how i get on.

    I have 46lbs to lose and am now the heaviest i have been in a very long time but confident that small changes will bring rewards.

    much love

    Yasmin xx
