I'm not a dancer and it took me a few classes to catch on but I love the cardio workout it gives me. I see results with inches fast and have many laughs at myself which makes it fun too. My teacher introduced new dances on Wednesday and I couldn't catch on easily but I know that next week will be better. I will never be able to coordinate as well as the teacher but it doesn't matter as long as I'm moving and burning calories. It's probably not for everyone but it is a great workout!0

Don't give up!! I had a really hard time with it when I started. I couldn't get it at all and thought how terrible I must look doing it. I have slowly started catching on. I still have trouble from time to time but it is getting easier. It is sooo much fun and you burn tons of calories!!0

:laugh: I feel exactly the same way!! lol. I'm the stereotypical white girl with no rhythm that CANNNOT catch onto those damn fast zumba moves no matter what I do! And most importantly it makes me feel stupid doing it because I know how silly I look! (and I figure if you're doing moves like that you should FEEL SEXY- part of the reason for enjoying doing it right?)
in my class, the white girls dance better than the black & spanish ones... its amazing but you can instantly tell who drops in here & there vs who likes, loves and works at it0 -
Dont give up! I was the same when I started... My husband was laughing to tears watching me! Now I just shut the curtains and lock the door! If noone can see me then I dont pay attention to how silly I look. And it does get easier after few tries. Have you tried the basics video first? it teaches you the moves step by step.
Good luck!0 -
It was a complete disaster for myself when I tried a class one time too. I turned left when others turned right...couldn't get the step. People looked at me like I was a fool. But I've never been able to get line dance steps or anything like that so I wasn't surprised.
Just keep doing it girl!! If you are doing it in your house who cares right! ITs a great calorie burn and more fun than most work outs. Don't look in any mirrors when you do it.0 -
You know what there are worst things than looking silly. Its about enjoyment and having fun. KEEP POSITIVE and Keep Trying You can get the hang of it0

Yeah, I'm right there with you. Only instead of at home, I did a couple of Zumba classes. I'm sure I looked like a fool. :ohwell: Oh well, live and learn.0

i have no rhythm or co-ordination but find zumba great fun, i did a class once and loved it unfortunately it was a one off and i've never been able to find aother regular one that wouldn't break the bank, so i got it for the kinect (seeing as it was gathering dust) and i love it, the sensor doesn't accurately track my movements but thats an issue with the game, and heck i like the fact the instructor keeps telling me i'm doing it right when i'm facing the wrong way. i certainly can't wiggle my hips at the same time as jiggling my arms, but by god does it get me breathless? yes! do i get hot and sweaty? yes! that counts as a work out in my books, the fact i'm actually enjoying it it a huge bonus. horses for courses i guess, you either love it or hate it0

Hey..the way I look at it...even if I look silly I'm still moving and burning lol!
My thoughts exactly, I have it for the WII and my kids and hubby laugh at me but whooooo cares, I am doing it for me!!0 -
I have to say!! I have NO coordination, and by no (however loose) definition of the word a DANCER. I look so RIDICULOUS when I do my Zumba. In fact, I would say that a child who hasn't quite figured out their motor skills yet would do better than me.
But I sweat, and I work out, and I burn sooo many calories looking stupid!! :P I just don't stop when I mess up, and keep PRETENDING I know what I'm doing. LOL!!!0
