Zumba

That is my new all-time favorite way to exercise. I've only done it a few times, but I work up such a sweat and when I'm dancing I feel every part of the body being worked. I can only handle 20 minutes right now, but I know that if I do it every day I can go longer. When I looked into zumba for the first time I really wanted to dance to "Fireball" by Pitbull, and today I found a youtube video of it and the choreography was fun. I can't afford to go to classes, but my xbox has youtube so I can do it in my living room and any song I can think of I can dance to. Today I danced to Fireball, Uptown Funk, Black Widow and one other one. I love Zumba because it doesn't feel like exercise, I feel energized afterwards, and it's fun to dance to (altough, I have a REALLY hard time with the footwork).

    I just started doing zumba recently also. I think it is fun. I keep having a nagging fear that someone will record it because I feel I must look utterly ridiculous. I hope when my fitness improves, my rhythm will too.

    I found some zumba classes at my local community center for 4 dollars a class! Love it!

    I actually did zumba for a year and a half when it was just getting popular! I loved it but I did not put forth any other effort in my day to day life (I.E, I still grabbed some Jack In The Box on my way home) or it would have been great!!!

    Look for Aqua Zumba. Legendary!

    I love Zumba! You said it correctly, it's exercise that's FUN! I used to do the Wii Zumba game, but I just bought the Zumba Rizer package, just started it yesterday.

    One tip: Take the time to learn the correct steps, you get more impact with correct form. And you're not going to know the whole routine right away, so make sure to give yourself time!
