I'm tempted to buy the zumba toning sticks (which i think in essence are simply 1 lb weights with "shakers" in them so they are two sided maracas with weights. Fun, right? Question... has anyone done the Zumba toning DVD workout with the weights? How did it work for you??

    I do the sculpt and tone twice a week and I can feel it. I use 2lb strap-on hand weights that I bought at WalMart. I am thinking I need to get some heavier ones so that I can tone more and feel it better. I usually do Zumba (dvd) 4-5 times a week. I enjoy it very much, and it is a great calorie burn!! Best of luck!

    I love them. The only thing is you can really tell when you miss a beat. But they work really well. My husband noticed the difference and now want me to zumba everyday. LOL

    i just love that they give you a little more "zip" with the maraca rhythm - tried my 3 pound hand weights... so not happening! :D
