    I've been doing the zumba dvd's off and on for a year and a half. I love them but after doing to dvd's so many times it gets boring like with any other dvd. Not as boring as others but still. I've finally gotten comfortable with my body and I've been going to the live classes for about 3 weeks now.


    LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    It's super fun and I love my team of instructors. I burn 700 plus calories an hour, and the classes are never the same. I'm doing 3 classes a week right now but I'm thinking of adding a fourth becuase it's that much fun.

    I've also just started going to Zumba with a friend and it's brilliant!! You don't realise what a full body workout it is until you feel your muscles aching the following day.

    I'd definitely be up for a Zumba forum.

    Keep the hips swinging ladies!!

    I just came on MFP to ask about the Zumba dvds and this thread was at the top of recent posts!!

    So I didn't need to ask, have just ordered my zumba dvds. Can't wait to start!! It's a shame there aren't any classes local to me

    I started it last week and used my heart rate monitor last night. Having warmed up on wii sports active for 20 mins to get my heart rate up, I did 45 mins of Zumba and burned 500-600 calories. That's based on my current weight of 196lbs so the results might be slightly different for different weights!

    Its great fun though!

    Did three nights of Zumba class in a row. It's amazing how I can do the dvd's now and not flinch, but the classes work my butt off. Since I've started doing the live classes the inches are dropping fast again. I think it's because

    A. I'm paying for it.
    B. The competition (that's all in my head) with all the other women in class
    C. The different class every time.
    D. And the instructor telling my when to focus on my core so it makes me keep proper form.

    I love it. I don't go again until tomorrow, I can't wait.

    I think tonight at home I'll do sculpt and tone, and flat abs.

    Hey fellow Zumbies!!! (Can I call you that?) :wink: What a fun week it's been! I went to my first ever class a week ago (Saturday). Since then, I went to a class on Tuesday, did the DVDs, and class again today. I cannot believe how fun it is. Just had to say so. :bigsmile:

    Wish we could have one huge MFP zumba class...

    I have the Zumba DVDs & use them. Zumba can kick your butt, I have asthma so I can't do the whole session, I usually do about 5 minutes before I'm huffing & puffing & have to stop. According to the Zumba info you can burn 1,000 calories per hour, but I don't know anyone who can stick with it that long. God bless anyone who can. It is fun. You burn some serious calories doing it. I have noticed my waist is smaller & my hips are slimmer.

    Zumbies!!!! Love it!!!

    I have done a little Zumba last week but training for the 5K at the moment and my legs are soooooooooo sore!!! So walking nevermind Zumba-ing has been a bit difficult. Feels a bit better today and there is a class tomorrow night so might pop along to that.

    Happy Zumba-ing everyone :heart:
