in Fitness and Exercise
I love Zumba, but it's been a long time since I've been able to do it. I would like to get a zumba DVD to work out with at home. They offer free classes to students at the college around here, and I applied to be a student this Fall. I would very much like to not look like a COMPLETE fool when I join ;) Besides, I think doing zumba at home on my 52" TV would be a blasty blast!

So, any good zumba videos that you guys can suggest? (Reasonable pricing, please - I am quite poor)

    I would try like ebay, or something like that for a cheap pick me up lesson. I know the website has them in a bundle but I am not sure how much they are. Zumba is a blast! :)

    If you have Wii I have Zumba for it and I LOVE it! Just did he 45 minute workout this morning and was dripping in sweat! I think I actually get a better workout with the Zumba than when I was going to the gym!

    I love Zumba too...sometimes when I get lost on a move I just do a different one I know. I purchased mine on amazon.com and paid like 65.00 with shipping and the hand weights. It also has three different DVD's.

    I too purchased the Zumba for the Wii. FANTASTIC!!! I walk at lunch and take a Saturday Zumba class, so this was the perfect supplement. Zumba for the Wii has activities for all levels and breaks down each of the moves so that you can really understand it. :happy:

    Wow, thanks for all the responses guys! :) I'll look into that wii game - but I'll need to buy a new sensor bar first. Apparently our sensor bar has broken as some point, because it's just not picking anything up anymore.

    Zumba is a latin dance based fitness program. The main steps are salsa, merengue, cumbia and reggaeton but can also include hip hop, bellydancing, bollywood, tango, flamenco and samba to name a few. It is an intermittent training class, i.e. a few fast songs then a slower song to let your heart rate recover, then fast again. It incorporates a lot of core moves and other fitness moves. I incorporate squats, kickboxing, tai chi too :) If you like "feel good" music and a party atmosphere, Zumba could be for you! In my opinion...Zumba is a BLAST!!! The hour always flies by! Don't even realize you're exercising :wink:
