Having been an alchoholic for 20 years and sober for 1 the pounds have started to attach themselves and prefer to settle in my core. I trying to keep track of my Calories and exercise. I find the calorie part of this website easy to use and even generic foods have been added to the list....cool!! But the exercises, well, I can't find the one's I use. I use a mixture of the Wii Fit Plus, a DVD for Gold's Gym Total Body Fitness Kit, and Pilate's. I want to add Zumba and other exercises because the Wii fit takes forever to burn off calories (usually only 3 - 10 at a time and that could take all day), the Gold's Gym is a bit too strenuous, and the Pilate's hurts my tail bone. Does anyone have any advice?

    Hello and welcome... I'm thinking of trying out Zumba, how you like it? I am not a dancer.

    Thank you all :)
    I haven't tried Zumba yet but it sounds like a blast. I took dance classes in High School (forever and a day ago :P) but would love to give it a shot. I will let you know how it goes.

    I might have liked it if I could have changed the music....sorry, not a fan.
