    I tried Zumba for the 1st time last week.. it was my 1st exercise class ever and I was so uncoordinated..but after the first couple songs I was getting better and honestly no one cared--everyone was laughing and moving and no one was perfect--except the instructor--we all just tried to follow her-- it was fun!
    I bought a Polar 4 HRM yesterday so when I go to my next Zumba class this week I can track the calories burned ;)

    Hi. I love zumba. I have been doing this for months and I am exercising but I don't feel like it. The instructors make it fun and no one cares what you look like ot what you are doing as long as you are trying. Keeip it up.

    LOVE ZUMBA! As far as finding a website to track calories burned, I recommend getting a heart rate monitor with chest strap. I used Zumba calories. com website before I had an HRM and it said I was burning upwards of 900 cals. When in reality I burn about 640 in 60 minutes

    I love zumba! It is how I have lost the majority of my weight. I burn between 600-850 calories per my hrm I wear. I go 3-4 times a week. I am constantly recruiting my friends to go with me. Add me if you want another zumba buddy.

    Zumba intimidates me lol I see the other ladies doing it and I just think I'm not coordinated enough and I'll look like a fool. I did tell myself it's my next benchmark reward though.

    If you have a gaming system, get the Zumba2, don't know what it is called on x-Box but it is the same "dances," and workout by yourself. I did that and then my job had a health and fitness day where they had a Zumba class, I was able to keep up. In fact I was one of two people (we were older) who could keep up and finish the entire class.

    I love zumba! I usually go twice a week; it's the only cardio exercise I've ever really enjoyed.

    I was shy and intimidated by the class at first, so I went with a friend. At it turns out, there were ladies from 16 to 60, and from very fit to overweight beginners. When I first started going in February I would follow some of the older ladies... smaller movements, bouncing instead of jumping, stepping instead of stomping, and so on. Now that I've lost a little weight and I'm fitter I can keep up with the instructor a lot better!

    I've also tried the game for wii... I know lots of people like it, but I was disappointed. For me it's just not as fun as going to class.
