    Zumba is a TON of fun and burns a lot of calories without even feeling like a workout! I take a class at my gym and feel really crappy if I have to miss a week. It's very addictive! You should totally try it at least once or twice. It is a latin based aerobic dance class, but you do more than just latin dancing.

    My instructor always says "wiggle like you wiggle and shake how you shake".

    Zumba is fun and a great motivation to your body moving and burning calories. Peppy music, interesting steps make for a good exercise session that doesn't feel like exercise. Try it!

    Also, try a barbell/weight class. These also involve music and movement with light weights and/or a barbell. Very good exercise. A fitness center I use has the Zumba class the hour before the weight class. Doing both classes burns calories and tones your body.

    I love Zumba...even though I really have no rhythm lol...it's a lot of fun! give it a try! It'll take a few classes before you feel less awkward probably, unless you're a natural dancer...

    I love it as a compliment to my workout regiment, but I don't think it should be the only activity one does. It is a blast!

    I do love Zumba!! I believe you can get it on demand too. Fit tv on demand. I'm going to check it out, but i have a hard time with motivation if I don't go to the gym.
    Sometimes I have a hard time getting a move, but I figure we all learn somewhere:]
    Enjoy your Zumba all~~~
