    I have been doing Zumba twice a week for about three months and I have not lost any weight. I enjoy the class, but it hasnt done what I had hoped. My legs are a little more toned, but my big issues are belly and arms.

    I ordered the Zumba and can't wait to get it. I love dancing and this looks like so much fun. I've even taken to watching the infomerical just to keep motivated. LOL

    I got my dvd's a few weeks ago. My age and health, I can't really keep up but I love trying!!! I figure even if I can't do the really fast ones, I still am burning calories. I sweat like crazy just doing the easy ones. When I get out of breath, I take a break. If I can't do the dances they are doing, I go to the ones I can.

    I do Zumba regularly at my gym, and I burn anywhere from 600 - 700 calories in an hour. I think, like anything, the more intense you work at it, the better your results..

    I love it as a workout because it doesn't feel like I'm exercising... It's just FUN!! Good luck to you!

    zumba is great at our local YMCA...! its fun do dance with a group as opposed to your own living room, the room is filled with energy and lots of calories burning!
