    I have played that game before and it is really fun. I have 180 something more pounds to go and I still go to classes. I wouldn't worry about what you look like in class, everybody is trying to concentrate on what the instructor is doing so they don't have time to look at what you are doing. Going to the class is the best thing I have ever done for myself. We all laugh at ourselves in the class at times and it is a great time and it doesn't even feel like you are working out even though sweat is pouring off of you.

    I've been doing Zumba classes for about 2 years, and I love them! I haven't tried the DVDs, but I did get the game for Wii. Honestly, I hated the game. I thought it was way too easy and really boring compared to the classes. It made me break a sweat, but nothing like the 600+ calories I burn doing the classes.

    I've been to a handful of classes and I have the DVDs. I love them both! Aside from walking daily, Zumba is the only other exercise that I do and I've lost around 10lbs from it. (I started losing weight with Zumba before joining MFP.)
    I find that I work harder if I'm in a class, but I still work up a sweat at home.

    I love Zumba!

    Hi there - I have a set of zumba dvds. An intro one with a 20min workout, a cardio one, a sculpt and tone one, a live one and some maracca weights! I love doing the dvds but some are quite hardcore. I do as much as I can and recon that as I get fitter I will be able to do more. It is fun and I feel like I have worked every part of my body afterwards. They were not cheap but I am using them so they were worth it! Hope this helps! Jennie xx

    Hi, I've been a Zumba instructor for three years and (of course) LOOOOVE Zumba! It is so fun and each time I teach the time just flies by and I'm sweating but never felt like I was working out. I highly encourage any of you who have only done the Wii or videos at home to go try a class near you (find one at the zumba website). I'm certain the energy you will get from a live class will inspire you and push to to work out even harder. And don't worry if you think you're too big, too uncoordinated, too old, too male (haha), too two-left-footed, too-whatever. Zumba is for everyone and you owe it to yourself to give it a shot!
