I've been looking in to starting Zumba DVD's at home and need help deciding which is a good beginners DVD and where I can b uy it rather than order online. Suggestions would be appreciated! I know I can also youtube Zumba videos but I have terrible internet speed at home/a POS laptop so I'd prefer to be able to go to a store and buy a DVD - thanks!!

    LOL at Zumbeast. I guess I am a Zumbeast, but I only take live classes, so I can't help much. I will say that I've heard the later videos are better than the earlier ones, though.
    Check videofitness.com for reviews.

    If you have a wii or other game console you can use that to play - that's how I get my zumba fix :)

    I love my XBox One Zumba. It's interactive and has tons of class options. When I travel, which is a lot lately, I find one on YouTube. As an FYI, I think I push myself harder in classes, versus a video of any type.

    I co-sign a previous response - if you have a gaming system, you should get that version of Zumba (like for Wii or Xbox Kinect or PlayStation Move). I recently bought Zumba Core for the Wii (from Groupon for like $15) and I love it.

    If you don't have a gaming system, these DVD sets are rated pretty high on Amazon:

    I do the DVD's at home. I actually found my first set on Craigslist used. We also have a 1/2 Price Books here that has tons of workout videos. I have picked up Insanity, 30 Day Shred, and several yoga & pilates there, all for under $10 each.

    The DVD's all have an instructional option so when you're a beginner you can go that route. You can do the regular non-instructional video once you have the steps down.

    Love Zumba!! Great workout, and it's fun, helps the time pass!! Hope that helps!!

    check out your local library and/or rental place and try out a couple options to see what trips your fancy.

    I play Zumba on my Wii U! It keeps me motivated with telling me how well I'm doing it & giving me a pretty good burn estimate at the end of the "class". :)

    The Zumba Exhileration is a full set that has low intensity to full intensity. Their included schedule actually helps you work your way up. I used this set last year and still love it!! I actualy just bought another Zumba set but have not used that one yet.

    I highly recommend this one as you will out grow the slow stuff FAST ;) This gives you the biggest bang for your buck!
