Has anyone had success with it such as weight loss, inches lost or even more definition in their body? I try to do it everyday and I have been do it consistently for 2 weeks so I was curious.

Thanks ,
Amy

Edit: Sorry about the spelling in the title:oops

    I have been doing it 3 times a week for the past month i lost 8 inches and 12 pounds so i would say yes although thats not the only thing i do i still incorporate some strength training by going to curves but i dont go as often as i should so i thinks it's mostly the zumba since you can burn anywhere from 400-1000 calories a session

    It is fun and cannot hurt! But, someone with more understanding of the science behind weight loss will probably say that lean muscle will work for you even when you are not working. So weight training is very very important too!

    I have been doing it for a couple months now trying for at least 3x a week and also walking one or two days. I also just started watching what I eat 2 weeks ago and have lost around 7 lbs. It is a great cardio workout and you can add more move and enthusiasm to get a better work out when you want to burn even more. Overall it is just a ton of fun. I absolutely love it. I am very uncoordinated but somehow manage to do alright. If it seemd hard at first give it a few weeks to get the routines down and enjoy. Good luck !!:smooched:

    INCHES! I'm conviced I've lost weight from eating healthy and inches from zumba. I take it in a class setting at my gym and my HRM says I usually burn around 700 calories in the hour. I've been doing it several times a week since september and I've lost inches everywhere! The biggest change was my calfs. I have big calfs to begin with but I've lost 1.25 inches from EACH calf. Looooove zumba :)
