I saw this workout on T.V. Its called Zumba. It looks very interesting, fun and reminds me of Turbo Jam's style. I was wondering if anyone has done this workout and if so...did you like it? Is it easy to do as in learning the steps?

    I've never done Zumba but know it's quite popular... it's a Latin dance formatted class.

    I did a few Zumba classes at my old gym-They were a lot of fun...But there were a couple of times I felt like a big dork doing the moves!! I personally thought that it was kind of an easy workout, so I would only do it if I were going to count it as a light day, or maybe go walking/running afterwards. But it is fun, and a great way to break up the monotony of regular workouts.

    I love Zumba. It's great fun. I had them on VHS and my player broke:cry: . But I would like to get them on DVD. My friends and I would get together a couple times a week and do it. we had a blast

    yea it is a latin dance workout..and it looks fun. The main reason I bought Turbo Jam was because it made me want to get up and start dancing. I dont know about everyone else..but i need something different when it comes to working out. And after seeing the ad and just listening to the music...it really makes you move.

    I'm going to my first Zumba class in about an hour and a half! I'm not in very good shape, so wish me luck!! It does look like fun, but I'm expecting it to kick my butt.

    I'll let you know how it goes.

    Zumba is great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It is no light workout for sure...it all depends on the instructor and how much you challenge yourself. When I take the class and wear my HRM I always burn close to 500 cals in one hr. Check it out!!!!!!!!!!!!! :flowerforyou:

    Grrr ... the Zumba instructor was a no show! It was a trial class at the community center and she kept us waiting for 20 minutes, then the director came in and told us that the class was not going to make tonight. :explode: :grumble:

    I guess I'd better go get on the elliptical so I can have some dinner and a bedtime snack!!!
