I'm back and refreshed. Been a few months off the wagon but I'm back for good. I need the support! I love Zumba and strength training. I'm very busy with work, school, and kids and could use friends to help me stay on track :)

    What do you put in for Zumba in exercise? So hard to estimate!

    I use calorieburn.com, I have heard people say that it over estimates calories burned but I figure if you find a calculator that you like and us it consistently it will give you the right idea!

    Me too....I lost 45 lbs last year. Started for Lent in February and lost it all by June! I felt great all summer! Bought new clothes and had the time of my life! Sorry to say that since September I have gained 20 lbs back......so I am BACK on FP which really helped me last time! I am planning to be here daily if you want a motivation partner!

    I love zumba and I also do the Wii Just Sweat...I love to dance so it's fun for me to workout this way.


    This has been the most accurate calorie calculator I've found. It has almost every activity you can think of..

    Hello fellow Zumba Lovers :happy: I do the Zumba Fitness Rush on the Xbox Kinect (in the privacy of my own home where it's me, my hubby, my kiddos and my dog and Lord knows THEY don't care how silly I look! :wink: ) I find that ZFR tends to overestimate the calories burned, so I really appreciate the websites you all have posted!

    I always say to myself, if I'm going to do this I'm going to do it RIGHT! :happy:

    Feel free to add me as a friend, strength (and motivation) in numbers! :flowerforyou:

    I LOVE Zumba too!! I go 3-4x a week and also do strength training and have started Jillian Michaels 30 day shred. Zumba is what got me into working out after years of being overweight and I was a smoker too. It's been a platform for me to learn that exercise doesn't have to suck and my body really loves the burn!

    I'm 18 and love Zumba!!! I recently moved to the country, so there aren't any classes around here. For now, I've been doing Zumba on YouTube! Tempted to get a playstation just for Zumba!
