    I love Zumba too, and would like to hear if it helps shed those pounds also.

    Yes. Its part of my regular exercise routime. I haven't done it lately and have noticed a slow down in my weight loss. But I also think it has to do with just moving and sweating, being active.

    I personally know 3 people that have lost over 100 pound a piece just doing Zumba and eating correctly. They went 5 days a week.

    Hope this helps.

    I was on a plateau and added Zumba and just started seeing a loss the last 2 weeks again. Not sayin its all Zumba but I think it is part of it. I am only doing 1 day for now.

    PS....If you do Zumba be sure to have the proper shoes....aerobic style shoes with a thinner sole instead of running shoes with a thicker sole.....Running shoes are made for going forward whereas aerobic style are for side to side....which you do a ton of! Otherwise you may run into knee soreness....I personally believe everyone will experience a little knee pain but without the right shoes it could slow ya down.

    Most of my weight loss is from Zumba. I did add KettleWorx later on for strength training. Zumba has helped a lot!
