Zumba or Gym?!?

While I DO love zumba and I have seen major results; I've been bored with my class lately. The new music mix and moves just aren't doing for me. This leads me to believe I'm not pushing myself as hard as I would normally. However, an hour of zumba can burn up to 500 calories.
At the gym, I usually weight lift for 20 minutes and run for about 30 but it EXHAUSTS me. I usually go home, eat (sometimes OVEReat) and then do nothing for the rest of the evening.
On a very good week, I'll do zumba monday/wednesday and the gym tuesday/thursday or friday. I've just been so tired lately, it's hard to get into either. I skipped the gym yesterday so today's workout is mandatory.
Sorry this is boring but I'm conducting a poll. What are your opinions of both?

I LOVE LOVE LOVE Zumba. As a busy mom of two under 4 between naps, preschool and running around I really don't have the time and $$ for a gym right now. Zumba is my one girls night out. I even have a bunch of the songs and do it at home during nap time. I never had this much fun at the gym. So if you have to pick I'd vote ZUMBA, but if you can do both then why not. Maybe try a different zumba instructor??0

I love Zumba! I wish I could do it everyday. I get bored at the gym just doing the treadmill or elliptical... I can only do those for 30 min max... Zumba I feel like I could do allll day.... I would also try a different instructor. From talking to people some instructors are very different. My instructor is VERY hip-hop mostly. Which is what I like.0

Just got back from Zumba! It was SO MUCH FUN today! I'm SO SO glad I went!:bigsmile:
I love my instructor, I've tried a couple different ones but she is amazing and does a lot of hip hop as well.
I think there are a lot of new people and she's trying to warm them up. She introduced a couple new songs today and they were great!
YES, zumba is very effective! You work different muscles but mainly your core. Look into the videos for sure.0
