Is anyone doing this program? I just bought the DVDs but it is not here yet. I am pretty excited about it, but I think I should have a group to keep me on it! Any takers???

    I received mine last week. I currently do 4 Zumba classes through work each week but the classes will end the end of May. I plan on using these DVDs three times per week along with running and the elliptical. I LOVE ZUMBA!!!!! I think you will love it too!!!

    Yes, I am doing Zumba Exhilaration and its awesome. i have a friend that comes over and we work out together some nights & then split up the Dvds on the nights we cant so we still get out workout done. You feel like you work all your muscles. Its fun too cause, well I like to dance, but doing this in my livingroom at my pace and learning it is awesome. Word of the wise stretch BEFORE & AFTER. I highly recommend this. You'll love it! It really starts sculpting out your abs/core. In fact it makes me walk around with my stomach "held" and that strengthens your abs & back as well. Posture is everything! Good luck, have fun with this and continue the good work reaching your goals!

    I've been doing Zumba going on seven weeks now. I do five classes a week at my gym in addition to Body Jam and Body Combat. It's SO much fun! If you can find a couple of classes to go to and have a good instructor you'll be hooked! Eventually you won't even think about it being an hour but how the time flew by so fast!! A good instructor will guide the newbies as well as challenge the experts! There should be a warm up and a cool down each session.

    I have Zumba for Wii and I love it. I haven't taken any classes but it is easier to do it at home with two small kids.

    I have the cardio party dvd of the set and it is hard for me right now. lol I made it about 10 minutes in and had to stop. I switched to the Wii game Just Dance 2. I love Zumba though. I will try again today. :)

    From what I've seen Zumba looks really fun, and I know some people who its REALLY worked for, like, jaw droppingly well. Just sucks i can't convince the girlfriend to go to a Zumba class w/ me. :/

    Keep trying! If she ever goes she'll love it. I started going last November and miss it terribly when I can't go. It's the best exercise program I've ever tried.

    I love love love Zumba! I bought the box set a couple months ago and do the 20 minute express 2x/week and the 50 min cardio party 2x/week. I'll eventually take away 1 day to start the sculpt & tone but i'm not ready for that yet. It's very addictive and it really is fun. Sometimes I take a week off and do something else just to switch it up. As after weeks and weeks of doing it over and over, it can get pretty routine and somewhat boring. But for the most part, it's awesome...and you burn A LOT of calories!

    Hope you enjoy it!

    Zumba fanatic over here too :) I do the classes 2-3 days a week at the gym, I have the old DVDs, Zumba Exhilarate and the game :) I had preordered Exhilarate, so I've had it since April and it's so much fun! I think you will love it. My favorite is Sentao. Its a chair routine and mostly toning but soo much fun. I also love zumba ripped but I used the 2.5lb weights that I got from my instructor because I found the 1lb maracas too light. Overall though, love it. The actual Exhilarate dvd is 60 mins and you will be drenched :) Good luck and let us know how it turns out for you!

    I added you as friend, just let me know when you start & i will start the same day. Just a friendly word of caution though, PLEASE take the time to do the instructional DVD. It really helped me when I did the DVD.
