    I did zumba tonight and I absolutely LOVE It!! :heart: My HRM said that I'd burned 555 calories. So that's pretty cool! Keep dancing, girls! :bigsmile:

    not sure if you saw my post but i did 40 minutes and only managed to burn 300 calories not sure if its bc i don't know the moves but the dvd is kinda hard. haha i cant move my body like that.

    I go to the same Zumba Class as Erin and I agree with everything she has said.. I was diagnosed with Generative Disk Diease last year where I was in Physical Therapy and that about KILLED me, it was hurting me Then I tried my first class with Erin back in September. 2009 . I thought to myself that there would be no way I could even do Zumba because my back was hurting everyday..To my surprise I love it and it's made my body alot stronger and my back does not hurt like it use to ,every once in awhile I'll get a pain....I have ordered the DVD's w/ toning sticks on zumba.com . I strongly recommend the toning sticks, I have lost in my arms, back , through my shoulders, I have TODAY a shirt on that I use to wear but couldn't because my arms, shoulders, it fit too tightly but today I have it on and I've been using toning sticks not even a full month now. I am up to 3 classes a week and I love how our instructor switches it where we don't plato, working different areas in our bodies. I would strongly recommend ZUMBA it's changed my life for the better.

    Love & Believe!

    I am also doing Zumba once a week at a "local" (20 min away) community center. This was my 2nd week and I felt like I was able to do a lot more this time. I was kinda lost the first week, but still was sweating after about 15 min. The 60 min class seems to fly away and I take the class with a friend who's 15 yr older but in better shape!
    What do the "toning sticks" do for you and where can you get them?

    I've increased my calories burned each week. I think it's because I'm starting to learn the moves and am actually doing more of them. LOL Keep it up, you'll get it. I really wanted to do zumba today but there's no class.... I want a 24 hour zumba studio to go to whenever I want. :love:

    thanks for the encouragement i tend to get discouraged easily, its been really hard to lose the last 15 lbs of post pregnancy weight andi have to admit my eating habits have not helped so, i decided to buy the zumba bc ive heard so much about it, so i just have to learn to move my hips like them.

    Just got my shoes in the mail today. Put them on and they fit ( I never order shoes online). Still am waiting on my Zumba DVD. I can't wait. While I was cleaning house today I turned on the Sirrius satellite and found myself dancing to the music. LOL Anyone walking by would of wondered what I was doing in here.
    I can't wait to get my DVD's got an email and they are "in transit". Am so excited, my other half walked in today as I was watching the infomercial and just looked at me and walked back outside. LOL

    Hey Janet & All.....I've read ya'lls posts and hoping the DVDs arrived finally.....
    I absolutely love Zumba & would love to check in with results on a running thread.

    3 x weekly for me....I have special dance shoes that I wear. Not sure if they're Zumba, but the arch can bend a 180!

    Our instructor is absolutely awesome! We do it all....from salsa/cumbia to a boxing shuffle of sorts....I can't get enough of the fun. Burn those cals like nothing else....& such a blast doing it :bigsmile:

    I thought about taking them with me but I don't know that we will have time. We will bet getting up at 6 to hit the road and driving all day and as far as we can til we are ready to drop. Trying to do 3000 miles in 3 days 4 tops.

    AHHH, maybe I will sneak out a little early and go do me a li Zumba.

    Confession: I dvr'd the infomerical just in case I couldn't find it anymore, lol

    I take 3 Zumba classes a week. I burn at least 950 calories a pop. But I'm a big girl ;) It's soooooooo fun. I don't have the dvd's yet, so I've never done it at home.

    I saw the Zumba infomercial last weekend and I was unsure about ordering the dvds. It looks like so much fun and everyone's posts have made me want to order it. I think I'll give it a try. Has anyone seen the kids Zumba dvd's? I'm trying to find more fun ways to get my kids moving this summer.

    I love it. You have to let your inhibitions go! and if you don't know the steps just to whatever keeps your heart rate up! I regularly would burn 700+ an hour.

    I looked at the site to possibly order the dvd's b/c I love my classes and sometimes zumba is what I want to do, but the workouts are to the latin music. My classes are the same moves but done to current hip-hop music. Have you all seen any dvds that are to the hip-hop music??
