Is anyone else using zumba as their main type of fitness? I am doing toning once a week and fitness one a week, an hour each. On the off days it's walking the dog and Hip Hop Abs....I'd do zumba daily if I could afford it, LOVE it!

    I teach Zumba.............major calories are burned in Zumba. Of course there are many variables and factors, but you can burn anywhere between 500 and 1,000 calories. But I will be the first one to tell you that cardio is not the only exercise you need. I am a runner and I do strength training as well. Finding time is my main problem. I teach 5 times a week so I have to get up at 5:30 to get in my workout, before I go to my non Zumba job. But I love teaching........it is awesome fun!! And the DVDS are not as fun as class, however they are a good substitute I suppose.

    I do it twice a week, been going for about 3 months now I think. I LOVE IT!!! I'm lucky that the classes are only $5 each, and there is a rumor the gym will make them free soon!

    Haha, its the best!!
    My gym offers it 3 times a week.
    It makes me sad though because one instructor is SOOOOO much better than the other two.
    I swear in my sunday class I burn 3 times the amount of calories then I do in my wednesday class.
