    It's amazing! So fun! I've been going since last July and with MFP and Zumba I've lost 30 pounds!

    I 100 percent recommend Zumba - it's SO much fun. I do at least one class a week. For awhile I saw it as my cheat exercise that didn't really count as exercise. You are having so much fun you hardly notice you are working out at all. BUT THEN one day I wore my heart rate monitor and found I burnt between 500 - 600 calories in the hour, hardly a slack work out.

    So all in all LOVE IT - it is so much fun it doesn't feel like a workout but you definitely get the burn on!

    I use the Wii Zumba and I love it. A fun way to exercise!!!

    I recommend you wear a Heart Rate Monitor watch so you will know how many calories you burn.

    If you like dancing go for it!!!!!!!!!!

    I have the DVDs and love them, I can do the 20 minute express workout early in the morning, then one of the other workouts at night... all in my living room. I love them.

    i lost 23 pounds in a month doing zumba. so yes i completely 100% recommend it. but you can't do it halfway. you have to go really hard and not give up and make sure to keep moving even when you're tired. try it! you won't be disappointed!

    I've not done the DVD's...just classes. I absolutely love it. Since I started Zumba I have lost 16 pounds, and I have only been doing it since Jan. 3rd. It is fun, exciting and energizing. Coupled with eating properly, you can really see results with Zumba almost immediately.
    I felt like a goofball my first class because I didn't know any of the moves, but I did what my instructor said and just kept moving. :)

    Zumba for Wii is on sale on Amazon.com right now for $39.99. This usually sells out quickly, so if you want it buy it, do it now.

    It's also eligible for free Amazon Prime shipping.

    Well the DVDs are better for doing Zumba whenever works for you (rather than having to go to a class at certain time) and you don't have to be self-concious at all as it's just you in your living room

    I prefer classes though as I find the instructor and the rest of the class boost my motivation and energy and make it a lot more fun. But each to their own :)

    It is the most fun I've ever had "exercising" and it is too fun to even call exercise!

    I personally perfer the classes vs the dvds just because you dont get the whole experience at home. :o) Im a Zumba addict!

    The part about being self concious is always going to be an issue when you go to a class or gym. You just have to realize that the people there are there for the same reason! AND no one is looking at you! Just have fun and SMILE as my instructor would say! :o)
