    I have been going to Curves which just started up a Zumba dancing along with the regular workout with the machines and I just love it. It's alot of fun and I can really tell that I burn alot of calories with the two combine. I feel that I will be at my goal in no time. Best of luck to everyone.

    I've been doing zumba for a couple weeks now. I have the Dvd's and Zumba for X box Kinect. Let me say, by far this is one of the best workouts I've done. You will love it especially if you love to dance. I get really into it when I do it and never burn less than 600 calories in a 45 minute timeframe. Haven't lost much weight as of yet but I've lost 2 inchs from my hips & thighs just by doing it 2-3 times a week within the past 3 weeks...so yes it works. I'm thinking about trying the live classes too.

    i bought zumba for the wii last night. and it is AWESOME. I think it is harder with the wii than with the class .Maybe its cuz i do the workout at home alone and class with friends. But i LOVE BOTH . I done it the last 2 days twice a day

    I went to one class, and signed up for ten more. :smile:

    I thought I had some degree of rhythm, but I was terrible. :laugh: It was still fun. Lots of fun. The way I look at it, as long as I kept moving, it didn't matter that I got the steps right. It was still a fun - and tiring! - workout. And in a way, possibly more fun because I was SOOOOOOOO bad, because it got me laughing, too.

    I have the DVD's. How do you determine the calories burned and why hasn't anyone added Zumba to the database yet? : )

    Here's a Zumba story for ya.I am absolutely in love with it, and have lost 48 lbs because of it.

    I started on a whim at the school I used to work at. The first class was the worst, and I totally stuck with it.

    I started in the back of the class, in the corner. After a few classes I brought my best friend (even though she was very hesitant). She fell in love with it. This was in March/April.

    By July we were certified ZUMBA instructors.

    Now we teach 2 days a week, we work for Parks & Rec and they want to add more classes. And we spend our time creating new choreography and finding new music.

    ZUMBA is awesome because it helps to redefine your body. I never had a waist. I was always lumpy and fat. Now I have a waist, and it has helped me tone my legs and lose 48lbs.

    The first class or 2 is always your hardest. Don't be afraid to ask for helps with the moves and dances. Look online on YouTube for tutorials to help you also if you get stuck. Stick with it, and after the first few classes, you'll be hooked :)

    I go to zumba once a week and its so much fun! Also it keeps you moving so your burning off the calories, if you put your own extra effort into it you'll get more out of it!!! :-)

    Congrats on becoming Zumba instructors, yes Zumba is the bomb and it's awesome when you have a partner to share and do it with..

    I can't stress it enough for everyone on this site, as like yourself I was a total couch potato and did a ZUMBA class started in the back and would never even stand in front of the mirror.. I was so ashamed of myself, I will post my before picture!!!!!

    Now I'm the one teaching it!!! Hhahhahaahh

    So yes this exercise is for woman and men alike!!!! Wonderful, fun and total worth it!!!
