Just starting Zumba

Hey I am just starting Zumba and i love it. I was wondering if anyone can tell me how many times a week I should do it and how soon do you usually see results. Looking for other Zumba lovers to chat about Zumba with. If you have any success stories please tell them. I love reading them for insperation.

    I absolutely love Zumba it is my favorite exerice. I love to take a class and be in a room with a bunch of ppl with very loud music and just forget about my day.

    I have the exerate DVDS and I love them. Even if you dont know the stops you can just make it up as you go along.

    I started recently as well, about 4 weeks ago. I felt awkward at first, but now I love it! It's fun and wow! Does it burn calories! I've lost about 7 pounds since starting. I do Zumba about 4-5 times a week. Twice at live classes (1 hour each class) and the other 2-3 times at home with the Wii 45-60 minutes.

    agree with everybody else, love, love, love Zumba. I think I've done it all (exercise), and NOTHING can compete with the sculpting your body that Zumba does. I do it 5 times a week. Its so bad, I can't even listen to the radio without making up a Zumba routine in my head, lol. You'll lose inches b4 pounds most likely, which is always good in how your clothes will fit! Keep it up, stay with it!!

    I do it once a week, but plan on adding it in more times. I go to a class that's an hour long. I love the way it makes me feel afterwards. I may look like hot mess, but it's all worth it.

    I love Zumba, but haven't been to a class for a while. Just joined a gym with a class, so aim to get there and whittle my waist and hips. It really works!

    I just started doing the Zumba videos again. I forgot how much fun they are and how great I feel afterwards.
