ANYONE LOST WEIGHT DOING ZUMBA?

It looks so fun but I got the Wii zumba and have tried it a couple times and hated it. It moves so fast (even the tutorials) that I feel completely lost with in two or three minutes. It just keeps telling me how "great" I'm doing and moving ahead even though I'm totally lost. Maybe a real class; idk.

You will feel lost until you learn the routines, I've been doing twice a week for a couple of months now and I still get lost and can not finish the whole hour yet but I'm getting there. My instructor says it's okay to not know all the routine just as long as you keep moving for that whole hour. Plus she changes things adds songs and different moves so your body doesn't get used to the routine. I can't say I've lost because of it but I know I feel better for it. I wanted to never go back after the first couple of times but I've kept going and now I love it. JUST KEEP MOVING!!!!!!

Please read....

Yes you can loose weight. Most of the instructors tho do not go over proper stretches before classes. I pulled my foot very badly in a class and ended up with plantar fassciatus or however you spell it. It took a year and half to heal and is extremely painful. Love doing Zumba but please stretch!.

i first got the wii zumba and that is horrible i hate it, but then I tried the zumda fitness dvd's and did it at home and i love it i have lost almost 50 pounds!

yes! i love zumba! great way to work out its really fun and it burns quite a lot of calories..

Any type of exercise with a calorie deficit will cause you to lose weight. It's much more about food intake than exercise, doesn't matter the type of exercise.

I did! And now I'm teaching it. :] It's fun, and everyone's right, you can lose weight doing any exercise that creates a deficit, but why not have FUN while you're doing it? Message me if you want, I'll give you all the info you want.

44 lbs. down by the way

Meeee 28lbs xxxx done 45mins everyday but once I stopped I started to gain so I'm doing strength xxx

anyone tried zumba core for the wii?...:)

I looked up the videos on youtube and was doing them added onto my workout, it was fun, got me loose for my 30 day shred workout, and had me sweating;) If it is to fast to keep up with just shake it!!! All you gotta do is move:) Good Luck!

I am a firm believer in Zumba. I absoultely lover it. I have lost a lot of weight with Zumba being my main source of Cardio. It is a lot of fun and you can't tell that you are working out. I feel like I am just dancing. I am drenched when I am finished. I do Zumba 5 to 6 times a week! Definitely reccommened giving it a try!

I had been doing Zumba for a year and hadn't seen results. The teacher taught a basic class. I "thought" I was working hard but I think I was giving myself a lot more credit than I deserved. I even bought the Zumba DVDs and started working out at home. Lost very little. I started taking zumba in Feb 2013 w/ a different instructor and she was high intensity! I almost didn't go back after the first class because I was scared I couldn't keep up. Well, I kept going and the weight is falling off of me, I am tone and I went from a size 12/14 to a size 6. So many people ask me what I am doing and as soon as I say working my *kitten* off they say, "oh " in a disappointed voice. I think so many people want a short cut but it really isn't going to work unless you YOU work.... HARD! Heart rate up and sweat pouring off of you.

Zumba. I do theExhilarateDVD's at home. I have been doing them for about 20 days now and am HOOKED!! Before that, I did all 4 Just Dance games for the Wii (routating) for 2 months. I have lost 20 Ibs since Feb 17, 2013. (Per my ticker) since I started working out on 2/17 and logging my food since 2/21. However, I lost approximately 10+ Ibs before I joined here due to having a REALLY bad case of the flu and bronchitis.. Thus, if you count that I am down a total of between 33-35 Ibs thus far... My goal is to get down to my ideal weight of 120 Ibs... I am a vertically challenged gal at only 5 ft tall...

I started out doing Just Dance for 3 hours daily 6x/week for about a month... (I and use to dance privately from age 5-16 and would of tried to go pro if I didn't injure my left knee... Then, I went down to two hours daily, again 6x/week, once I got the moves down. Recently, since starting Zumba and because of time constraints with my small children and hubby, I have reduced it down to 1 hour cardio everyday (sometimes up to 1 1/2 hrs) and every other day 1 1/2 - 2 hrs when I also do the toning and Sentao Dvd's with the cardio.

I don't do Zumba, but I've lost weight eating pizza.
