    Ok, so I did two hours of Zumba today, and had a great time!!
    60 minutes of Zumba Exhilarate DVD & 60 minutes of Zumba Ripped DVD...both leading me to burn 1158 calories today! I'm definitely looking forward to getting down again tomorrow!

    Here are my starting stats:
    SW: 218.8
    Chest: 40.5
    Hips: 45
    Waist 38
    Left Arm: 16
    Right Arm: 15.5
    Neck: 13.5

    My goal is be down at least 15lbs by the end of this challenge!

    Awesome job! 2 hours of Zumba!!!! U go Girl!!!!!!:happy:

    I'm so in!! I actually do a Zumba class at my gym every Monday and then Zumba on my Wii the rest of the week since I am in school!!!! I have been looking for a Zumba challenge!!

    Question: Since you are doing both (Zumba Classes & Wii) Is there a difference between the classes & the game?


    I don't find a difference. The class is just more fun for me. The Wii can be a bit confusing with the steps so when I don't know what they are doing I just bust out my own moves LOL

    Thanks so much for the info. I'm on a budget & was trying to decide if I should purchase the DVDs as well, but I think I'm going to stick with the game. I thought I was the only one who made up my only steps too :laugh: Yesterday was my rest day so today I will be back at it gettin my Zumba on :happy:

    Girl, just shout ALL ABOARD!!! Cause I am so on this Zumba train...I've been taking Zumba for the past 3 weeks, and was so excited when I lost 2 inches from my waist and 3 pounds!!! I take Zumba on Sunday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday!!! Truly thinking about investing in the DVDs. And once I meet my weight loss goals, becoming an instructor!!!



    I was thinking the same thing!!!! I'm really liking zumba and would love to teach!! Just not at the weight that i am now! lol I was looking in to it and its really not that hard to start up. Its like $285 to take your certification class and you get a bunch of materials too. I wanted to do that as well as the zumbatomic and zumba gold!

    ME too!!! I love zumb and I would love to teach it!! Hopefully it;s not too late to get in on this!!

    I have 10 hours of babysitting today... Don't think I'll get to zumba but it's sunny so the girls and I will go for a run (they are 2 yr old twins and a 3 year old so they run and I jog) and we always dance to the radio! :wink: Hope you all have a good day!

    Do you wear a heart rate monitor? If you do you can make your own entry for Zumba and add your calories burned. If you don't have one a lot of people put it under aerobics dance and it give you an estimated calories burned

    Wow! I'm really happy & excited that many of you will join the Zumba Fitness Challenge starting tomorrow. Like many of you, I have the Zumba for Wii, so that's how I will be getting my Zumba workout. I'm also delighted to hear many of you are taking classes and using other game systems to take part in the challenge. As, I mentioned before a HRM would be useful to help indicate your fat burning zone. I just purchased mine today :happy: ...I usually wear a pedometer but for Wii Zumba I think the HRM would be more sufficient.

    REMEMBER TO PLEASE LOG IN YOUR DAILY OR WEEKLY PROGRESS. IF POSSIBLE INDICATE WHAT LEVEL YOU ARE ON,THE TYPE OF DANCE YOU ARE DOING. IN ADDITION ,IT WOULD BE GREAT TO WEIGH YOURSELF, TAKE MEASUREMENTS OF YOUR NECK, WAIST, AND HIPS PRIOR TO THE CHALLENGE SO YOU CAN SEE YOUR RESULTS NEXT MONTH.


    whats an HMR??
