I LOVE my Zumba classes! It's a huge calorie burn in an hour too.

VERY WORTH IT! burns about 800-900 calories an hour! Go for it. Shake your booooty!

I love Zumba!! The best part is that it can burn a lot of calories without feeling like exercise. I could see how it wouldn't be fun for someone that didn't like to dance. But if you like to shake it, it's totally worth a try. Maybe try looking at some YouTube videos to get a preview.

I just started Zumba a week ago and I'm still getting use to the steps. It is a fun way to burn calories and get some bounce in your step.

I'm a new zumba fan also! it's fun and really works up a sweat. I'm trying to do my exercise journal and i'm sad to find there isn't Zumba on there, so I'm not sure how many calories I'm burning....

I am 150 lbs and I only burn about 350 calories in 45 minutes. It will not burn 800-900 calories for everyone. Get an HRM.

yes, Zumba is fantastic! A super fun and effective workout that makes you feel sexier! Lots of booty shaking! ; )

Seriously? I'm the only one? I hate it, I hate every second of it. I'm sure it might be fun shaking your bon bon in a class of 50 other women, but when you do it at home with the zumba.com dvd's it sucks! I don't know, I love dancing, and I love the Dance Central for Kinect...but zumba? I don't get it! It's torture!

I love Zumba - I try to go 3-4 times a week when I don't have college classes and when I do, I stick to my Zumba game for ps3. I'm a former dancer so I really get in to it and can burn 600-700 calories a session (this also depends on the instructor and how much you get your total body into it).

If you like dancing workouts, you will love Zumba. The steps take a little getting used to and not all instructors use a Mic in class. However, even if you don't get the steps right away, just keep moving.

I heard from a friend that the Zumba DVD's are not the same and definitely not as fun as the classes.

smilebhappy

Yes.....it is totally worth it!! It's a great workout & alot of fun :bigsmile:
I Love Zumba!!!!!

Love it! I am probably biased because I love dancing in general though.

I like the DVD's better than classes because they have more of the latin moves. The classes I've been to seem to have a lot more "fluff" type moves. With the DVD's you have a whole section devoted to salsa, calypso, etc. It actually makes me want to be a zumba teacher so I can do it the way I'd want a class to be.

love it, worth it..I do it @ home!

Melissaol

I love zumba. I just have a hard time figuring out home many calories i burned. I do it at 5:30 in the morning.any advice on calories burned..

JennLifts

My fave workout. 4-5 times a week! I burned 772 calories doing an hour yesterday! I'm pretty intense, but that gives you a range! I LOVE the community!

I'm with ChristyFrank here. I am 137 and only burn around 375 in a 55 minute class. Now, I think I have a bad instructor who takes frequent long breaks so my heart rate crashes and is not sustained. It's fun, but I can definitely burn more calories in the same amount of time doing other things that I like (spinning for example-love it and burn 425-475 in a 45 minute class). I also have zumba for wii and still don't burn as many calories as other folks say and I too am using a HRM.

I am new 2 Zumba..been going only on Mondays for the last 3 weeks..bought me a HRM and today I burned 667...I love 2 dance so this is right up my alley..wish I could go 2 more classess but I work at the end of the week and Mondays are the only day I can make it..I might try Tue morning class at 0830 but that's kinda early 4 my blood...but yes..its worth it and gets ur midsection toned if u work it right!!

kajunsarah

Not sure how accurate my HRM is but it said I burned 980 calories in Zumba tonight. I used 3 lb wrist weights throughtout the hr and added 3 lb hand weights for some of the toning songs. Does that seem like a lot?

WalkwithMeLord

Great and it does burn alot of calories... and its fun..
