    People who enjoy Zumba tend to enjoy dance classes in general. I don't really like classes and I'm not a good dancer but I can see why other people love it. It's really fast paced and upbeat.

    Eh my strategy with most things is don't knock it til you try it :) With zumba find a well reccomended instructor though !

    PS I couldn't dance at ALL before zumba, now I dance even not at zumba !

    My first time doing zumba was yesterday. I did it at home from a tape. I felt kind of stupid cause I have very little rythm but I figure I would try it... I feel like I would like it better once I learn the steps and dont feel so awkward about moving my hips in that way.

    cause its fun!.. yes, as some other ppl said, it depends on the instructor!, if you have the same routine with the same songs over and over again you will get bored.
    I could ask the question you asked to all the runners, I HATE running/jogging with a passion!, If i do the same long enough I get bored, i dont understand how people can like running, for me zumba is so much better, different songs and a good instructor makes the trick I guess.

    Like a few posts prior mentioned, if you like dancing and you like reggaeton type music, Zumba is fun. I love dancing and I love reggaeton music (Daddy Yankee being my fave) so I really enjoy zumba. There's this one move that I love to do and my daughter laughs everytime...LOL. The only reason I don't do it more at my gym is because the classes are always so packed. I'm not trying to get bumped over by some sweaty woman going crazy on the booty shaking part of the work out...LOL

    I just don't get it. I have tried it a few times. It's alright I guess, but I really can't get into it. I see all these posts about how great it is. I just don't see it.
    I keep being told I should come to class. I just keep on brushing them off. I would rather try to build muscle or go for a run if I am doing cardio.
    Am I the only one who doesn't like it at all?
    Everyone doesn't love Zumba. There are plenty of people who tried it once and found it wasn't for them. There are plenty more who have no interest in trying it.

    It's just that those people who stick with it, do so because they love it. So when there are posts about Zumba, you tend to get those people.

    It's the same with 30DS and C25K and P90X -- people who do it and find that it works for them are thrilled and are happy to talk about their success. But there are plenty of people who thought, "nope, not for me" and instead found something that did appeal to them.

    Not everyone loves it. I love it. I've always been into music and dancing. People who aren't like that most likely won't like Zumba.

    It's true. I love Zumba, but as I told another poster, it's probably not the best choice for me because I look like a handicapped kid in a windstorm...:noway:

    I don't even know what it looks like, but I agree with your exercise choices. Cept I just do cardio on a treadmil.

    I am absolutely no a fan of Zumba. Maybe it was just the fitness instructor but I couldn't get into it. Plus, just as I would get a move down it would change, which is very frustrating. You are not alone in your dislike.

    More power and to each their own. However my gym time is not a dance class, it bares no interest to me at all. I'm with you, rather lift and run.

    Zumba-How-We-Feel-How-We-Look.jpg

    this is why i only do zumba at home on the wii. but this is also why i love zumba. if i can just get over the fact i probably look like i'm having a seizure of some kind or doing a strange mating dance, it's pretty fun. but everyone likes different stuff.

    I don't like zumba whatsoever.... My gym, Goodlife, has a dance class called "Body Jam' and if you were to try that out you would quickly realize Zumba isn't good LOL!!!

    But at the end of the day, zumba is better than sitting on the couch, so whatever works for you DO IT!!!

    I'm ready to be slammed :)

    I love that zumba has gotten a lot of my inactive family and friends active because it's a fun, healthy way to spend time with other people enjoying the same thing. We have zumba fundraisers here. You pay $5 and attend a class. I'll buy a couple tickets to support a cause and give the tickets to friends who love it! I have yet to try it myself, but when I can finally drag my BFF to a class so I won't feel alone in my awkwardness, I will! :smile:
