    Love - for me, it's a great workout (600+ cals burned in 50 minutes) and so much more fun and than spending an hour on an elliptical. And I'm completely uncoordinated and typically dislike exercise classes :)

    Love Zumba. But the instructor makes or breaks the class.

    I just took my first Zumba class this past Monday .. it was awesome! I had so much fun .. I did learn that I have no rhythm, LOL but I felt like I worked out and had a blast. I would recommend Zumba.

    Love it, I'm usually sore everywhere afterwards....including my calves which seem to never hurt after a workout

    I've taken Zumba classes a couple of times and it was so much fun! In my experience, even if you're not doing the moves exactly right you are still sweating and getting a work out by just moving!

    LOVE LOVE LOVE! I have the DVD's that I use 5 days a week and I take one class at my community center on Saturdays. Once you get the jist of the choreography, you can add your own flavor to it and just groove.

    I absolutely love zumba!! I started it a few months ago and have become addicted to it. I agree that the instructor makes or breaks the class and luckily I have a very good one.

    I used to attend the classes. I enjoyed it and the time flew by. I stopped because my foot kept going numb while I was doing it, but if you're generally healthy, you will probably be fine. I had to modify some of the moves to be lower impact since I have some weird joint issues in my foot.

    I am an instructor. I got certified in August. It really does depend on your instructor but I think that I make a good and fun class where we can burn between 500-1000 calories in 50 minutes. Zumba is how I started in the gym and I still do it all the time. 5 times a week and 2 times a day at least most days.

    I tried it for the first time today. I was really nervous and have been toying with the idea for almost three months. I did much better than I thought and I loved it. I will definately go back again. I think it will be a fun addition to my workout routine.
