ZuMbA

Has anyone else tried zumba fitness!?!?! It's fun and intense and I love it. I world like to hear some of your success stories and also become friends on mfp with some people who love zumba just as much as I do. I lost about 15lbs in 6 weeks doing zumba (but gained it back when I stopped). It doesn't feel like a workout. Also how many calories can one burn doing an hour of zumba.:smile:

    Hi I love it, I have many friends who teach Zumba and when I am ambushed by many things I throw in my Zumba in the XBOX kinect and wala I workout and sweat for an hour . As far as calories my Kinect says 1300-1400 calories in an hour but for accuracy I suggest to get a Polar heart monitor which will give you an accurate calorie count . I think its on target you have a slow , moderate, and fast setting I do the fast one and am drenched with sweat when I am done . I go to MC's which are 2 hours long and they are a real workout it all depends on the teacher some are slow cardio and some are quick fast fitness cardio . I always take Zumba after my Body Pump class or NTC class hope this helps. Check out different teachers all have different style you will see. : )


    Love life, Eat clean, Train HARD, Push Foward !

    i love zumba also, you may need to get a heart rate monitor to track it well.
