This is so fun!0 -

Great job!!! Funny how you get lost in it and time just fly's by!!!0 -
I love dancing too! Will have to try zumba out
Oooooh yes some of us were wondering and a couple ladies asked me earlier about trying Zumbe out! Any recomendations on some videos to purchase or download? Heck even some of your own would be FANTASTIC:happy:
I just ordered some zumba dvd's off of t.v. I can't wait for them to get here lol. Should get them in 3-7 days.
Right on! Let us all know how it goes! I'm really interested in purchasing myslef!0 -

Good for you!
Isn't it! I love dancing, does so much more then just raise your heart rate and it's fun too, that's what I love about it0 -
Im in! yay Im pumped!!0

Count me in too! I do this already, a few times a week! Usually with Lady Gaga while putting away my dishes LOL.
As far as moves go, I try to constantly keep my feet moving and I incorporate a lot of squats. Keep your core/tummy engaged as well. Try to keep the arms above heart level.
It's amazing how just 10 mins of this gets my heart rate up far more than walking for an hour. Plus it's crazy FUN! My boys are still young so they just look at me like I'm weird and keep on playing:-)
I'd love to try Zumba too- they offer it twice a week at our town center so I need to check into that and see if it's full yet.0 -

Good for you! My youngest looks at me like I'm crazy too...lol I can usually get him to join in for a little bit then he's bored...lol unless I dance with him on my hip:) I love dancing to Lady Gaga's music too! Love doing squats while dancing, except when I do them I make a figure 8 with my hips and I feel the burn all over! You should give it a try0 -
Im in! yay Im pumped!!
Great....WELCOME0 -
ZUMBA-
Here it is ladies Lesbionairre posted the link to you tube for this Zumba video! We both really really like this one! It's only 9minutes. So for anyone who was curious about it watch it or give it a try, but be ready to sweat your butt off, I did :happy: :happy: :happy:

Oh and her and I are going to do this dance once a day! I know I said new challenge every week but I wanted to share because I thought this was great and only takes 9minutes....ANYBODY IN?
Think of it as a challenge for those who would like to participate on top of our other challenge! I don't want to push anyone too hard so only do what your body can handle0 -
This sounds like fun! I will have to add dancing to my cardio tonight!0
-
This sounds like fun. I am going to have to check out the video when I get home.0

I'm up for the new challenge. Got in a 35 minute dance session with my 2 year old and 3 year old today. We chose the "Mama Mia" soundtrack!0
-
I'm in too...
check back later or tomorrow
Happy dancing girls!0 -
Hi Everyone, I have just done 50 minutes of zumba :happy: I love zumba and although still not feeling 100% i do feel better than I did before!!! Have fun !!!!!0

WOW...I lost 4lbs doing 4hrs of exercise yesterday (3hrs of it dancing; 2 hrs of that dancing while holding my little girl)...I can NOT believe it 4lbs in 1 day!!!
Today I danced for 1 hr while holding my daughter; my boys and I kicked off with "The Mexican Hat Dance", while listening to a personal mix of variations of the "Mexican Hat Dance" (that was for 13min). Then we danced to "Floggy Molly" for 30min, doing traditional Iris dance; that was the biggest dance work out I've EVER done, it is very hard to do the popping foot work while carrying an infant! And finally we topped it off with sprint laps listening to Nelly Furtado's "Whoa Nelly" album for 17min.
Don't know if I'm going to do more later; pretty tuckered out at this point...0 -
