Wow, that's great! How many times a day do you do zumba?0

Just received my one-year anniversery e-mail from my spin studio. My instructor just banned me from attending classes more than 4x a week - she says I have to cross train.
I found the dance moves in Zumba to be too complicated, but I love spin. Before I started spinning, I could barely run 2 miles. Now I can run 10 miles - yes, 10 miles - all thanks to spin.
I find spin class to be my moving meditation - I shut my eyes, go with the music, and sweat everything out. I'm invincible in spin class.
Good luck, either way!0 -
I'm trying spinning next week!0

I absolutely am addicted to Zumba. Just like with Spinning you can make the class as hard or as easy as you want. Once you get the moves down, you can adjust your workout to how hard you want to go. I have lost 80lbs doing Zumba, Elliptical, lifting and watching my diet. Was one of the easiest things I have ever done. I just wish I had started sooner.
I am now going for my Zumba instructor certification. Who knew that would happen 80lbs ago!0 -

Wahooo! Let us know what you think.0 -
I started spinning when I got injured on a marathon and it has been a huge part of my success on here. My legs are rock solid, its great for abs and if you get a good instructor -its an awesome class!!0

Hi there.
Former Zumba/Spinning addict here.
It was a long hard road but I finally got off the wagon about 6 months ago and decided to start lifting heavy. Sometimes it's a little hard going to the gym and seeing people on their Spinning bikes. Or a girl walking into the lockers all sweaty. I think 'She probably just got out of a Zumba class'. But overall it may be hard but I'm willing to fight that battle every day.
I'm also here to help support anyone else trying to give up Zumba/Spinning. It's an uphill battle but you can do it. I'm living proof.
:flowerforyou:
HAHAHA You amuse me, so much I do lift heavy but I can't give up my Zumba. Even got certified this past weekend. I wont give up my Zumba, but will use my weight abilities to teach Toning and Sentao maybe in a year or two
Edited: Success story as requested. Almost 72 lbs lost, I do a lot of cross training but I'd say 1/2 of my weight loss is zumba or zumba toning class. I do hike, occasionally spin, run (first 1/2 this past Jan) I do 3-4 days a week with either power class, core class and/or zumba toning.0 -
I am a zumba addict!! LOL I credit my success to the zumba toning class that I attend, as well to the amazing group of ladies that dance the pounds away with me!!0

I have done spinning before and it's just about killed my legs each time, which is wonderful! But I just did my first Zumba class tonight and loved it!! I sweat buckets, but didn't feel like I was working out... that is until I sat down and started to feel it in my legs and abs! I say try both!0

I am in the middle of my 1st Zumba class session at the Y 2x per week. I love it- you get lost in it and before you know it the class is over. I'm not sure exactly how much of a workout I'm getting now because I'm still learning the moves...0

Yay that you got licensed! Did you opt to join ZIN as well? I'm getting my toning and aqua license at convention this summer, but I won't do Sentao because I can't even look at it without thinking Jennifer Beals and Flashdance. :P Way to join the party, good for you!0 -
All from Zumba and some occasional hiking =D

Both for sure! They are both great workouts, and so fun!!0

If you like to dance, you will want to try Zumba. It is so much fun and you get a great workout. I have never tried spinning, it does not appeal to me. I love Turbo Jams and Zumba.0

Just wanted to update everyone...I took my first spinning class yesterday and I felt like I was going to die & I still do. The seat hurt my butt and lady parts so bad..they hurt worse than my legs. I'm gonna attempt to go back Wednesday, pray for me!!0
