Anyone know where I can get Zumba DVDs without spending $60+ for them? My gym offers Zumba but with my work schedule and my son's basketball game schedule I just can't go. I would like to start doing it along with my Turbo Fire and Insanity (well to work back up to them due to medical/health issues) but can't really spend a whole lot. I've checked eBay but they go on there for about the same price as going through zumba.com.


Any ideas????

    Maybe try amazon.com and see if they have used ones? Or don't get the whole set if possible. Just get the 20 minute express and the Cardio Party so you have different ones. Then as you get more money you can get the other ones? I am not sure if that is a possibility but its worth looking into.

    I looked everywhere and ended up paying the $59.99 for them at www.zumba.com I did not find them comparable to the class - but they are fun. Do you have a Wii? If so the Zumba for Wii IS comparable to class - an awesome workout!

    We do have a Wii......the question then would be could I get my two boys off of it long enough for me to do it......:laugh: :tongue:

    I may have to look into that though....

    Many instructors post videos of their routines on You Tube. You'll have to use your own discretion ( some of them are kind of awful) but once you go through the trouble of organizing 10-12 videos, ripping , then burning them to a CD, you have a work out cheap as free. Plus, when you get board you can switch up the dances with new ones.
    I am a HUGE Zumba fanatic, I go to the classes at my gym at least five or six times a week , so I bought the DVDs for when I traveled or couldn't make the class. And I found them pretty dull. I'm an experienced dancer, so doing the same simple move for four minuets with slight variation doesn't really do it for me. The only one I really do is the LIVE DVD and the Ab workout. So I guess if you really want to buy them, get that DVD.

    If you have a Wii, they have Zumba for the Wii for sale on Amazon.com.

    Check out Ebay for the Cardio Party DVD. All the other DVD's are fillers.

    I just looked up craigslist in my area and they have the single DVD's starting at $12 each. And I saw sets for $30. try craigslist in your neighborhood. Good luck!

    I just purchased the Zumba for Wii for $40.. if you have a Wii..

    Also I haven't tried but try Netflix?

    Or your local on demand service? If you subscribe to the channel I know Comcast has it on Tuesdays.. you can DVR it and use it anytime?

    My boyfriend is a video game nerd that works at Best Buy, we bought the Kinect the night it was released. :laugh:
    They have several work out games for Kinect, I have Your Shape, Fitness Evolved and it's pretty great! There's another one that comes with an HRM that actually interacts with the game.
