Hi, I have been Zumba twice a week for almost 12 months and even though I haven't lost any significant weight directly from it, it has improved my fitness so much! I never used to be able to run anywhere or bike, and now I can run a 9 minute miles and can do 2.5 miles in a run which for me a MASSIVE achievement, now that I am eating healthier I think Zumba will have a more direct effect on weight loss (now that I am more focused). It also made me love to be active - I think my instructor has a lot to do with it as well, she is a fantastic teacher I would recommend it anyone!0

I love Zumba, I have lost weight doing it. I haven't done it for a few weeks, because I started doing a boot camp video trying to get more strength training in and this past week, I have been doing some pilates moves to help with stomach.
But, reading this makes me want to do Zumba, so I think I am going to do it today.0 -

Love Zumba! It is exercise in disguise!!
I wouldn' t attribute my 14lb loss in one month to just Zumba, but it has certainly helped0 -

I do Aqua Zumba for the same reason. My knees especially my left can't handle the jumps and the quick knee twists. But in the water it is completely different. I can do everything but if I did have water shoes I might have better grip on the pool floor.
With Aqua Zumba and all the other bits of exercise I have been doing though my legs and knees are considerably stronger so hopefully soon I will be doing it in a studio because Aqua Zumba is only done twice a week at my pool. I would do it every day if I could ! 45 mins passes by so quickly
As for losing weight it is hard to tell because I have so many other things along side A.Zumba but I am definitely stronger in the legs from pushing through the water.0 -
I used to do Zumba classes once or twice a week and wasn't really watching my diet too much so the results were minimal. Recently I bought the Zumba Exhilarate DVDs and have been doing it for 2 weeks now along with a healthy diet (and I am not starving, but I am making sure I have a calorie deficit between what I eat and my Zumba workout). Today is day 15 and I weighed myself this morning... I am now 7.5 pounds down!! I love Zumba and together with a healthy diet I feel like I can really achieve my weight loss goals and get healthy!!0

Zumba makes me forget i'm exercising! I was introduced to Zumba in my PE class in highschool, i became so addicted, i couldnt get the music out of my head, when the workout ended i didnt want to stop, i wanted to keep going, and thats why i chose to buy Zumba over Insanity, although Insanity gave me faster results, i would prefered to have fun while i work out! I'm a canadian latina, so this also helped me get back to my roots!0

I started logging MFP last June, started doing Zumba in late July. Up until December it was my main excercise. I do it 3 times a week for an hour, and now I have incorporated weights, and other cardio into my routine. Still doing Zumba 3 times a week. I truly believe that along w/ watching what I eat, that Zumba is responsible for most of the weight I've lost0

Is anyone doing the home videos?0

I just bought the Zumba fitness DVD's and reading your post is making me excited about starting to use them! When did you begin to add other forms of exercise to your routine?0

Hi there,
For those of you that Zumba do you wear a HRM so you know what you are burning? I'm thinking of ordering the dvds for my birthday but just wanted to know how you calculated your calories burnt..
Thanks:)
I wear a HRM doing Zumba. I do two Zumba classes a week with different instructors. Wednesday last week I burnt 497 calories, the next day I burnt 628 calories. Calories burnt depends on how energetic and intense the classes are.????0
