Ok, first of all, can I just say that this is the first exercise program that I have actually STUCK WITH!!!! So with it being such a big hit, why is it not part of the lineup here at myfitness?
How many of you do Zumba? Do you like it? You feel like it makes a difference in your attitude towards xercise?

    YES YES AND YES lol. My guess is b/c the calorie burn can be so different from person to person due to height, weight, age, endurance, routine, music and instructor.

    I've been doing zumba 3-4 days a week since February and wear a Polar HRM. It's the way to go, I can burn anywhere form 600-800 cals per hour of zumba. And all of the above factors make the difference.

    Zumba :heart:

    I have only been to one Zumba class. I really enjoy it. I calculated the calories based on the time for low impact aerobics. I have a crazy busy life so it's hard for me to schedule in regular exercise classes. But I've now lost 11 pounds and I'm 1/4 of the way to my goal weight loss, so I'm thinking that adding one weekly Zumba class to my two gym workouts per week is a good idea at this point. I just love that Zumba is FUN!

    I went last week for the 1st time & I'm planning to go next week. This week was cancelled at the gym due to the trainer's family emergency.
    I found some of the steps hard & I was kind of lost, but some of it was easier & alot of fun. !!! It's a great way to burn ALOTof calories.

    My wife is a Certified Zumba Instructor and watching her and my daughter do Zumba together is a treat to see.

    Zumba is a great workout and you will have fun doing it. I don't do Zumba yet, but I told my wife that one day I would like to add it to my workouts.

    LOVE :heart: LOVE :heart: LOVE :heart: LOVE :heart: LOVE ZUMBA :heart: !!! I currently do it 6 times a week but this week I will be doing 7 classes because I added a 1.5 hour zumbathon. Its such an amazing workout and it keeps making me lose the pounds. I have been doing it 6 days a week since the beginning of September but I still look forward to every single class :bigsmile:

    I started going to Zumba at the end of last month. I only go once a week for an hour because that's the only time I can fit it in. According to my HRM, I burn between 503-556 in one hour, depending on the dance routine she does and if I'm familiar with it. Once I get the moves down I should be able to move more and burn more.

    I like it. To me it's a chance to get out and "dance." Plus it's a change up from my normal at home DVD routines. It can make such a difference to work out WITH people. LoL.

    yea Zumba! I am addicted too! I started doing it about 3 years ago in preparation for my wedding, and it worked so well and was so fun that I stuck with it, and now I am finally an instructor and teach 3 times per week :):)

    Wow!! I had no idea I'd find so many zumba lovers out here!! hahahaha!! I think zumba is great because it is FUN!! Any exercise that you can find that is fun is a great exercise, because it means that you will stick with it! And there is nothing better than that! I've also thought about becoming a zumba instructor. I would probably teach zumba gold, which is catered more for the beginner and the elderly. I think it's a market that not too many people think about reaching, and I think it would be fun! We'll see!
