I've just started zumba sporadically. Is zumba enough, or do I need to mix it up with other types of cardio?

    I love Zumba. But only go once a week so do other things as well. I try to do a min of 30 min a day.

    Love my zumba! I also go to the gym for weight training! I ve heard many say zumba strengthens too but I like going to the gym! Thats a decision you have to make for yourself but it never hurts to mix it up just so you don t get in a rut and get bored! Good luck and have fun! Thats how you keep going!

    I do Zumba 3-4 times a week, and I love it. As long as you have a good instructor, you will work a variety of muscles. But I also do other exercises as well. Strength training will help burn more calories and help tone your muscles.

    I do traditional Zumba 3 times a week and a Zumba Toning class 2 times a week but I also do a bootcamp class and a Body Fusion (weights with cardio). I also switch in a Core Fusion class sometimes.
