I am almost 58 years old, and would love to try Zumba, but am afraid I won't be able to keep up. I need courage.
My 54 year old mom does it with me! IIts not a big deal if you can't keep up 100% of the time. On the dvd's the instructor shows an easier step and my mom modifies as she goes along. The first time she did it she kept saying, this is fun! Its not boring!! LOL! ) These are the DVD'S from the Zumba website. )0 -
Like others have said, Zumba is self paced! If you go to a class that has a lot of jump moves, just don't jump! Do what you can, and just have fun! If you are worried you'll feel out of place taking it slow in a Zumba class, try checking out a Zumba Gold class - check out www.zumba.com and search for Gold classes in your area!
My HRM tells me that in a 45 minute class, I burn around 700 calories, and when I teach an hour long class, my HRM tells me I burn 1200!! I really bust a move and shake everything I got! It's such a fun and great workout!
Zumba love!0 -
I'm a big girl and I can generally keep up. Sometimes I modify the moves so I don't kill my bad knees but it is a blast!0

I just got mine on the Wii and love it!0

I love Zumba also! For me, 60 mins. of Zumba burns 500 calories.0

When I get back from Mexico I'm going to actually wear my HRM to class one day to see how many calories I do burn in that hour!0

Do you think the Wii version of Zumba is challenging compared to the classes? I know I've been very disappointed with Wii Fit Plus. I want something that will REALLY torch calories!

I think it is. The Wii Plus was like for kids to me. The Zumba on Wii has advanced and expert levels and a 60 minute class. I was out of breath on the beginners. I did a review on youtube with one of the beginner's songs on it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=awrE2_UAuCE0

Hello, I have been doing zumba for a while and am now a qualified zumba instructor and start teaching 4 hours a week from Jan!! so fingers crossed its going to drop off me.... 2 of my instructors lost ALOT of weight and there were people in my class that lost 5 stone in a few months from doing 2 or more classes a week! ITS BRILLIANT! does not feel like your working out and yet your meant to burn around 800 cals per hour of intense zumba.... i would highly recomend going to a class rather than from the computor as you will never work as hard in your own home or without an instructor motivating you!
it works for everyone i know so hope it does for u! x0 -
Just dd my first day of the zumba work out and it so so fun but truly a total body work out as well. Everyone should do this. My 8 year old daughter was workin the Zumba with me and we had a blast.0

I love my Zumba but I can't get my hips and body to move like those girls on the videos. Any suggestions? I love it and I do the best I can but I look kind of silly.0
