Let's talk ZUMBA!!

Zumba is addicting! I'm sure the dvds are great but nothing compares to going to a class with a great instructor. It takes a few times to learn the moves but after that it's so much fun. I've been going 3 to 4 days a week for about 2 months now. I've lost 27 pounds so far just from using mfp and doing zumba!

I've never taken a class, but I watch Zumba videos on YouTube. VERY energetic! I can keep up for about 10-15 because I'm a bit out of shape, but it burns calories!

I do ZUMBA nearly everyday at home on DVD and I should hit my 40 lb down mark around April 1st since starting on January 6th of this year.........it will TEAR the fat off of you I promise! Its amazing! Just doing the DVD's at home, I have lost double the weight I could ever lose at the gym! Its worth it!

I have a knee injury that prevents me from doing anything that is really weight bearing, besides walking. If it's not a lack of mobility, it's pain. I have wanted to be in shape enough to do Zumba, as it looks fun, but knew it was something I wouldn't be physically able to do. I recently started doing aqua zumba. I'm sure I don't look near as graceful because, well... it's just hard to dance in water! But it's a blast! I don't know how it compares to traditional Zumba in burning calories, but moving is moving!

THIS!

I am addicted to zumba! Classes are more structured so if you can go that route I would def suggest it! I too lost more than 20 pounds (23 at last weigh in) in 2 months just doing zumba and using MFP to track my food consumption! If you like to dance and have fun working out ZUMBA is the way to go! Good luck! :drinker:

Zumba is awesome! I go to classes about 2 times each week. The instructors are wonderful and a typical class runs about 150-200 people in a very large auditorium with jumbo screens and a stage. Average burn per hour is about 750 calories! A fun and great way to lose weight. I have never done the dvds, but can testify that the classes (if you have great instructors) are rewarding. I am 57 years old and can keep up with the younger girls...just takes a little practice (LOL). Had a recent lower back injury so taking a few weeks off. Good luck!

I love love love Zumba...it's my workout of choice. I've taken the classes at my gym and also using my wii at home. It's lots of fun and burns a ton of calories! I lost 19 lbs since I started MFP on Feb 6th! I reached my first mini goal today...Super motivating!!! Keep up the great work everybody!

I bought the DVDs and i really liked them it is fun and you don't feel that you get tired during the excercise. I think the DVD box is worth the money because if you have enough space you can easily train at home infront of your TV.
I am also goging to a zumba class and it is great.

results:
for example after zumba ripped i felt muscels i hadn't an idea they existed LOL

I do Zumba Core on wii and I love it. I've only been doing it for about a week so its too early for me to tell if its working, but i have fun..my heart rate is up and I sweat BUCKETS! so that must count for something.

Anyone seen results from doing Zumba on wii?

I've done a class for charity and my wife has done it a couple of times. I didn't feel it got my heart rate up to do any decent burn and my wife doesn't rate at all compared to other classes like body pump, body attack etc.
