Hello there! I've wanted to try Zumba for a while but can never manage to get to a class b/c i can't rely on the hubs to get home at a specific hour.

It's 1:30am and I just came across the Zumba Fitness DVD Set...have any of you tried this? If so, let me know how much you like it.

Thanks!!!

    Hi honey.
    Although I do my Zumba at classes, some of the ladies there swear by this dvd. Even the instructor has said how good it is! I can't vouch for it myself as I haven't used it, but those that have say it's great!

    I have never been to a class) and haven't got the exercise dvd so cannot vouch for them, but I do have Zumba Party for the Wii ... OMG I love it !! I love the encouragement it gives you as you go along, seeing the instructor turn green as you get moves right :)

    When I am doing my Zumba class on it I really notice a difference in my weight loss too.

    check out zumba on youtube, I have a few favs that I've saved and go through them all when I can't make it to a class - its not as fun as the class, our local ones are unreal definently like a party - lots of crazy fun and laughter. One of my favourite arm warm up exercises (I do it no weights and jog on the spot while doing it) if you search for this on youtube - "50 Cent- In Da Club Merengue Mix- Arm Work Out" .. I guess you have to have a laptop or internet tv to be able to do it in the lounge room though.

    I've got this DVD set plus the first set!! I totally recommend it!! It's an awesome workout and come with a varity of different intensity workouts!

    My favourite workouts are Mix, which is a compilation of different dance routines from around the World, and I do Ripped once a week too which is a two part workout for toning.

    I won't go to classes as I'm shy when doing my Zumba so I do it at home

    There are several DVD's in the Exhilaration set and you will NOT be disappointed. I've been doing Zumba at home now for over 2 years and it is, by far, my favorite form of workout. It's FUN and you will love it. I promise! I tried a class for the first time a couple weeks ago and because I didn't know the steps they were doing, I felt out of place but I wasn't the only one...everyone else, even the ones that had been going for a while were lost at times...anyway...at home is better for me but you might like a class.

    The DVD's have an instructional one that shows you the steps and they're so easy to learn that way. LOVE it...

    Exhilaration is actually the second set of Zumba DVD's I've bought...I loved the first set so much! These are even better. HIGHLY recommend!!

    I used to love going to my Zumba class which I did twice a week. My instructor, Scott, amazing (and unfortunately very gay) pushed us so much and I used to sweat buckets. I didn't however lose any wieght during the 5 months I did it. I went back to the class Saturday just gone for a charity Zumbathon and none of the ladies who still go looked any smaller either.

    I've never tried the DVDs so I couldn't comment. All I know I've been going to the gym for 5 weeks and have lost more weight than 5 months at Zumba. But compared the Zumba, the gym is very dull.

    Good luck xx
