I was invited to Zumba with a friend, but I don't know much about it. Anybody a fan? Any input would be awesome.

    it's a combiation of different dancinc styles, it can be pretty intense depending o the teacher! I love it, too bad I can't do it anymore because of my knee. If you like dancing, give it a chance

    I love Zumba....if you like to dance then you will love it. It is fun and like having a dance party - Give it at least 3 tries before you decide to quit or not. The first time I went to Zumba - I was embarrassed, didn't know the steps and definitely could not move as fast or like the other ladies at all. It just takes time and you will figure out how to get your body to move like the instructors.

    You will sweat like you never have before - so take water and a hand towel. You will see your body transform - your hips and waistline will become more defined. It is great for burning fat.

    Only bad side - my brain was trained to hear latin music and look for the margaritas/ chips and salsa - so I was hungry at my first couple of Zumba classes.

    Have fun with it and enjoy!

    I go to Zumba three times a week--and I absolutely love it, even look forward to it (and I used to resent exercise time).

    It does take a little time (took me around 2-3 weeks of classes) to get to know the moves, but once you don't have to concentrate on your feet and coordination, it feels like an hour of partying, especially if you've got an enthusiastic class.

    Have fun!

    I just went for the first time on Monday night. It was a fantastic workout...and a lot of fun too. I was sweating as much as after an intense kickboxing class. For me, exercise needs to be fun...and it rarely is. That is what is so great about Zumba. It is definitely something I'm going to keep going to.

    I LOVE LOVE LOVE my Zumba Class. My instructor is AMAZING. I hurt my foot today and I was more upset about missing Zumba tomorrow then anything else. If I wasn't tired and sweeting in the end I wouldn't have known I was working out since I was having so much fun.
