    I love it -- take a class at least once a week now. I would really suggest a heart rate monitor because this type of dance class can range so much depending on what you put into it . . . but the estimates I've read are between 350-500 calories. I have an HRM and for a 60 minute class, busting my butt, I usually burn about 410-420 calories.

    I am working my way to zumba, I am on my 4th week of spinning and I love it. I told myself once I shed some pounds then maybe I won't look like THAT big of an idiot doing zumba. Any advice for a newbie for once I start? :yawn:

    I am about 75-80 pounds overweight (I weigh WELL over 200 pounds) and I have no problem in the class.....dont move my hips the way some do, but still love it!!!
    I have a body bugg from 24 hour fitness, I guess I will try that for a bit to see....
    I go twice a week right now only because they only offer 2 classes a week....our instructor is amazing...very full of energy.....
