I noticed at my Gym they offer Jumba. I would love to do this as something fun to my work out. I'm already working it hard on my 6 days, so would this be too much to add on?

    You mean Zumba? It's a cardio dance class, if that's what you meant. Totally fun, and go ahead and add it in. You'll love it.

    You really only need 5-6 hours a week of steady, intense exercise. Some of that should be strength (resistance or weight lifting).

    Oh my gosh yes Zumba! lol thanks that's what I get for trying to watch the pregame and type here.

    The class is pretty small and looks like a lot of fun, and I think for me to keep going this entire process needs to be fun if it's going to be a way of life from now on. : )

    Thank you for answering

    I get it. I've been on the tequila party boat for a couple hours already myself. . . I'm typing and proof-reading carefully. :wink:

    I love Zumba/Jumba/whateva.....the music and the dancing...you can't beat it.

    Yeah, I won't work out if it's not fun. I love zumba. I do youtube zumba videos, but if I lived closer to town and had more money I would LOVE take an actual class.

    Just be careful! Zumba is completely addictive. It got me over 6 years ago, and I just can't stop.....I'm even pushing it on others! Just hit my 55lb mark in Zumba related weight loss.
