    I'm a Zumbaholic! I have the dvds and do them at home at least four days a week. Still looking for a class in my new town! I'm 34, mom of a ten year old! I absolutely hate mushrooms and honey!

    My name is Chandra and I am a Zumbaholic. I go to class at least 3-4 times a week. And go to Zumba parties at least 2 times a month. I have Zumba for the X-Box connect and I prefer to go to the classes. I burn double the calories at the gym. I am looking into getting certified to be an instructor but have to wait until they come back to Colorado again or travel to another state. I do not like Brussel Sprouts.

    Hello, I am Valerie, 36 with 3 kids. I started Zumba about 2 weeks ago on the Wii. I love it! Very fun!! I've not been to a class, just the Wii game. Is it similar to a class?

    Hi
    I'm Kelly.I hate oatmeal, but love Zumba so much I get up early on Saturday mornings to be the first one at my gym so I can get in the front row.Love bellydancing too - but there's no exercise I've found better than Zumba.
    Does anyone else hear the music in their heads while they're at work?

    Hi! My name is Allison and I just took my second zumba class this evening - I have no rhythm but it's such a great, fun workout! I've gotten my roommate and several gym buddies to hit it with me, and one of my friends is the instructor, which makes it even better.

    I really hate olives and mushrooms.

    Hi I'm Patti! Fairly new mother. Started Zumba in August 6 weeks after C-section- regretably took Thanksgiving to New Yars off. I'm back to as many classes I can fit into my schedule each week. I'm down 22 pounds total since I started- 9 since I joined MFP. I find myself randomly Zumba-ing all of the time.

    Zumba is my new favorite thing! I have no rythym and still miss a few steps but it's so darn fun I don't care! I'd love to get the wii game and would go to class every day if I could! I detest bananas.

    What do you experienced zumba veterans like best about your classes? What do you think of your instructors?

    Don't know if I qualify as a veteran, but after two years of Zumba the best thing about class has to be the amazing smiles :happy: goofy as we seem to those peeking in the windows, we're having a blast!

    We're up to our 4th instructor, the first little gal was all that and much more... miss her lots, she was a professional dancer (figures) and had much larger horizons.
    As for the lastest instructor, she's as authentic as they can possibly come...Amazing! Works our butts off! She dropped 50lbs after her baby was born dancing to those Latin rhythms :tongue: Took her all of 5 months, she's as beautiful inside as she is outside. Love her :happy:

    Now that I think about it, what I like best about my Zumba classes has to be how awesome I feel...it's the greatest motivator I've ever had exercising.

    Hi I'm Sharlet

    I'm a wife and mother of a 10 year, I too love Zumba! I take Zumba classes at the YMCA but how do we add it under exercise, I don't see it listed?

    That's how I feel about our class too, mj. We are so silly and that's what makes it so much fun.

    The teacher that inspired me to become an instructor was very fitness oriented and also was a personal trainer. She was so energetic and bubbly but also had a lot of good health and diet information too.

    I think it is also important for an instructor to have a good sense of rhythm too, if you guys have ever taken a class from someone who doesn't have very good rhythm, you will know what I mean.

    I'm Amy, and I've been doing Zumba off and on since last May. I have the DVD's, have tried the Wii game, but I love the live classes! I go to two on Mondays (one toning) and two on Tuesdays. On other days, I do the Gold's Gym Cardio Dance game, which is Zumba-inspired. I'm a very picky eater, and there is more I don't like than I do!

    Hands down, I love how much fun we have. When you've been going long enough, you start to become familiar with the other regulars and it's almost as if we're going out dancing! LOL I love 3 out of the 7 instructors who teach Zumba. My favorite instructor, Michelle, hands-down is a just a doll and I love her so much. She has made music CDs for me when she knew I was going away on vacation so that I could continue to move my body while away.

    Hi, my name's Caroline, I live in London, England and I hate offal.

    Tonight's class was brilliant, we learned a new merengue routine. I'm almost sad that I can't go to tomorrow night's class as I'm going out with some friends!
