    I have the Zumba Gold DVD which I use at home sometimes; I also do various Zumba routines on Youtube.

    Have any of you tried the Zumba Core for the Wii? I'm thinking about getting that one.

    I go to live Zumba classes four days a week. I am an ADDICT! I love it! I have never gone to the gym this much in my entire life. At the end of this year, if I am successful in my weight loss, I will owe a lot to Zumba, no doubt!
  • I got Zumba fitness 2 on Wii for Christmas, so I'm working my way into it, trying to do a Short, Medium Intensity class every day (or at least 5 x a week). I started with the first version the year before, but dropped out in the summer. Then I started going to a weekly 1 hour class locally, which is great! But they have stopped over the holidays and don't start again until 14th. I really, really want to try and change my habits and get into a regular routine of exercise, I feel so much better for it!

    I do find some of the moves a bit hard to follow, but it gets easier the more you do it......

    I like the interaction & social networking that classes offer. I like Zumba Gold,Original Zumba, Toning & Aqua Zumba. I have made a lot of friends thru classes. I also use the DVDs Zumba Fitness, Zumba Exhilarate & just got the new Zumba Gold Dvd's .Gold is a slower version of the original, easier to learn steps when beginning. Gold Dvd's only available on QVC & Zumba.com so far. If anyone is looking for a class in their area, zumba parties or clothing check out zumba.com. Or Check meetup.com for free zumba if offered in your area.

    Sure. But I'm not very good at it yet. I feel like a whale out of water but hope to get better and feel more energized too!!!:laugh: :laugh: A Challenge is a great idea. When you log your Zumba exercise, hope many calories do you give it for 30 mins?

    I do the older DVD set (not Exhilarate) and Zumba Rush on xbox kinect. I usually do Zumba 4 days a week, Fluidity 2 days and then rest one day. I use the cardio party and sculpt and tone DVDS (along with abs) and the Rush "game". I usually do moderate length (45 minutes) on high intensity for the Rush game, but occasionally I'll do the 25 minute short length on high intensity if I'm pressed for time.

    Greetings all.

    I used to go to class at the gym, but the gym got expensive and the class schedule stopping working with mine, so sadly, I'm not going to live classes anymore. I rather miss the camaraderie of acting like a zumba fool with everyone else!

    I got the Exhilarate DVDs before Christmas and was doing 30-60 minutes 5 days a week. With all of my travelling over the holidays, I've rather gotten out of practice, but I'm slowly getting back into my routine.
