I was thinking about taking a Zumba class and i was wondering if its a good work out?? Also is it fun? I watched some videos on YouTube and it looks pretty fun and I already have a strong dance background.

    If you like to dance, then you'll love Zumba. Depending on the instructor, you'll get a pretty good workout. When I go max I burn about 650 cals (but I've been doing it hard for a year) or on the low end it's 350-400. It's all up to you on the level of impact. Try it out, you won't regret it!

    Love ZUMBA ... But it does depend on the instructor. You make the burn more or less. Good Luck and have fun!

    I looked at this post for my own selfish purposes.
    Do you think if people don't particularly like dancing they will enjpy it?

    If you already have a good dance background, you would LOVE it! (even if you don't have a good dance background). You burn TONS of calories and it's SO much fun, espcially in the class environment! You should try it! You'll become a Zumba addict like many of us already are, lol. I go for 60 mins and I burn 920 calories when I do it!

    I LOVE Zumba! It's so much fun you don't even look at your watch and the hour flies by! You can go as hard or as easy as you feel comfortable with, so calories burned depends on you. Try it out!

    I am taking a class tonight and was a little worried about looking a little rediculous.

    I've been going to Zumba for about a month now and I absolutely LOVE IT. Can't dance for toffee but its a brilliant workout and I'm usually melting by the end of the hour so I would rate it as a great calorie burner!!! Go for it!:happy:
