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!

    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'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:

    I've taken Zumba twice at my gym and I am hooked. It is the best workout next to running! I didnt think my heart rate would get up there because it didnt seem like a high impact workout! Was I ever wrong! My heart rate is up there as if I am running on the treadmill.

    And the class is so much fun you don't even look at the time!!!

    Go for it!

    I have worn a heart rate monitor and when I first started I was burning over 700 calories an hour in Zumba! Now, I'm in better shape and weigh less, but I still burn 600 an hour on average! and it is FUN!!!

    Zumba is the best workout! It is so much fun and it is cardio plus an amazing core work out! I wore my hrm to class and it was at 100% almost the whole time!

    I also have it for wii and it is really good as well...the kids even like it!

    You know it's an amazing workout when your totally in shape instructor who teaches 4 or 5 classes a day is sweating her "balls" off!:wink:

    It depends on the person, the instructor and the routine. I like it because its a fun, quick workout. The hour goes by really quick and I burn alot of calories..a little over 600.
