    I started doing Zumba about 8 weeks ago. It is the bomb!! Don't get discouraged if you can't get it at first - it's harder than it looks! But once it clicks - it is so much fun! Good Luck!! :happy:

    By the third class you should have most of the steps down. It is so high energy and so much fun. Take it at your own pace and don't be discouraged. Everyone takes time to get it :-) I say this because of a few friends who came to a class with me and gave up!

    ttyner,
    If you have to use the databse, yes...choose high impact aerobics.
    However, if you have a heart rate monitor, you can use that and manually enter the calories.
    Zumba calorie burns vary SO much for people.
    It's a GREAT workout though :)

    I wanted to do it, but I have two left feet and I was too scared to make a fool of myself, maybe I will feel more confident with more weight loss, then I will go.

    I went to my first Zumba class last week, and had at least two left feet, and some of an unknown origin. I had a complete, total blast, and nobody else cared how horribly uncoordinated I was. Just go!

    "some of an unknown origin" LOL Too funny.
    I like to joke that I couldn't find a beat in a paper bag, but I tried Zumba and loved it, despite not knowing all the moves immediately, In fact, I got certified to teach it on Oct. 9th. Now, I have a lot of practicing I need to do, but everyone has their own style, so don't be scared. Just have fun!
