    I'm so glad many of you are up and have read about the Zumba Challenge. I suggest you have a heart rate monitor to determine calories burned etc, towel for working up a sweat, and plenty of H20 lol because your gonna need it:laugh: .

    I'm in. I'm doing 30 Day Shred every day and have been doing elliptical for another 30-45 minutes a day. I decided to do Zumba Cardio Party after the Shred yesterday. WHEW! Kicked my butt much more than the elliptical. So I will do Zumba 3 X a week , every second or third day, with everyone here.

    Girl, just shout ALL ABOARD!!! Cause I am so on this Zumba train...I've been taking Zumba for the past 3 weeks, and was so excited when I lost 2 inches from my waist and 3 pounds!!! I take Zumba on Sunday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday!!! Truly thinking about investing in the DVDs. And once I meet my weight loss goals, becoming an instructor!!!

    Woo hoo count me in! :bigsmile:

    I do Zumba classes on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays.

    I also do the Curves Zumba Circuit twice a week.

    I have the DVDs - will be doing the Toning one tomorrow as Curves is closed because it's a public holiday here in Australia.

    Missorange - don't have a Wii but have the DVDs - they're great and convenient - the same as the Wii version would be I'm sure. But I find nothing beats getting together with other people in a class and smiling and laughing together. Why not do both? :wink:

    I'm in!!! I do zumba on Sundays, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday at my gym! My trainer lets me do that for my cardio because I cant stand walking or just doing the same thing for an hour (i.e. treadmil, bike, eliptical) lol I take my daughter to Zumbatomic (little kid zumba) on Saturdays!! She loves it! Anyone with kids that love to move or dance should look into it for their little ones. She gets to excersize and doesnt even know it. Its better than her sitting on the couch or playing wii all day! ;0)

    I was thinking the same thing!!!! I'm really liking zumba and would love to teach!! Just not at the weight that i am now! lol I was looking in to it and its really not that hard to start up. Its like $285 to take your certification class and you get a bunch of materials too. I wanted to do that as well as the zumbatomic and zumba gold!

    Wow! I'm really happy & excited that many of you will join the Zumba Fitness Challenge starting tomorrow. Like many of you, I have the Zumba for Wii, so that's how I will be getting my Zumba workout. I'm also delighted to hear many of you are taking classes and using other game systems to take part in the challenge. As, I mentioned before a HRM would be useful to help indicate your fat burning zone. I just purchased mine today :happy: ...I usually wear a pedometer but for Wii Zumba I think the HRM would be more sufficient.

    REMEMBER TO PLEASE LOG IN YOUR DAILY OR WEEKLY PROGRESS. IF POSSIBLE INDICATE WHAT LEVEL YOU ARE ON,THE TYPE OF DANCE YOU ARE DOING. IN ADDITION ,IT WOULD BE GREAT TO WEIGH YOURSELF, TAKE MEASUREMENTS OF YOUR NECK, WAIST, AND HIPS PRIOR TO THE CHALLENGE SO YOU CAN SEE YOUR RESULTS NEXT MONTH.

    I'm in for the challenge if it's still ok to join.

    I'm unable to do the measurements at the moment but I have the Zumba DVD's ( the newish ones but not Exhilerate).

    I'll start it off that I done Zumba Live! which is 55 minutes on the Zumba DVD, before coming to work!
