    I enjoy a simple zumba youtube "janey at 144" It reminds me of my zumba class before I moved to where I live now. Janey has a bunch of them and most of all they are free!! I burn between 280 and 400 calories per workout. Enjoy....:smile:

    I enjoy Zumba at home. I have been doing it with my friend. She helps motivate me to do it too. I have done the Activate dvd 5 days in a row this week! I've been doing it off and on for 2 months. I really like it! Cumbia is my favorite. What state are you from?

    YES! I love Zumba at home! My work schedule makes it hard for me to make classes in the area so I usually do it on the Wii or You Tube. I have really been loving Jill McClure's workouts on YouTube. She's got single routines posted so I made my own playlist with some of her workouts but others have posted their playlists of her routines. I like them a bit better than Wii workouts because I think the music is better :)

    Hello all .... I must admit I did not care for the zumba on dvd because I loved going to class so much, but I recently brought zumba core for xbox and I LOVE IT and I burn a lot of calories.

    I love it! I play zumba core on wii at home, I get too bored with the DVDs but the game element keeps it spontaneous and fun.

    I'm planning on going to a Zumba class for the first time this evening. It looks like it could be fun! I think that's going to be me in that "what I actually look like" picture. :laugh:

    I personally prefer actual classes - I have done the dvds and they will do when I want to zumba and can't get to class.

    Im bought the DVDs to see how I would do with it before I would join a class. I felt like a red headed Michelin Man having a seizure. Fun as hell, but you'll never catch me doing it in public, LOL!

    I do Zumba at home about 5 times a week. I prefer the original Zumba from around 2000 that I used to have on vhs and cant find anywhere :( I also dislike the classes felt like they were just jumping around and not showing anything or doing any actual exercises that go with zumba.

    Love Zumba 2 for the Wii. I look like a flamingo having a seizure doing it, but it's a lot of fun and I like that I can customize the workouts.

    I've been trying Zumba at home on youtube :) I love it but I KNOW I look like that ridiculous picture lol. But its fun and I found some youtube videos of bigger girls so I feel more confident. I usually burn about 350-400 calories doing 20 minutes (using my heart rate monitor to tell me). Its fun but I'm still too out of shape to do more. I'll get there though.

    I have zumba 2 and zumba core for wii. Love doing it but need to modify for bad knee. Have a great time and I purchased the DVD set too. Now to let the knee get better than back at it!

    I've made a playlist on YouTube for zumba at home. I think it's a lot more fun if I'm doing it in a class though, the instructor keeps me motivated!

    I'd love to try a class, but they are too expensive for my budget. I use the Wii and LOVE it!

    I love doing Zumba! I haven't gone to the classes yet and currently have it on my Wii. I don't want to go to the classes mainly because I KNOW I have no coordination and it's probably hilarious to watch me from a distance, but it's fun and well worth it!
