    So, I'm going for my very first exercise class ever tomorrow night, of course it's ZUMBA, and I am wondering what I should wear? Sorry if this is a ridiculous question but I really don't have "work out clothes".

    I do Zumba @ home and just wear shorts and a tank, you will get hot so dont wear anything to warm and dont forget to bring water. . Also wear shoes that dont have to much of a tread or your feet wont slide very well on the floor.

    Are Zumba dvds sold in stores, do you know, or do you have to order them online?

    At home that's what I wear too, just don't have the self confidence to wear that out... Just bite the bullet? I never thought about shoes! LOL I dance around my living room barefoot (hardwood floors)!

    I did 65 minutes on the intermediate level this morning. I tried the expert and I feel like I get a better workout on the beginner and intermediate levels? Is expert more for toning??

    Not sure, but a lot of us have the same complaint. It's not bad I can deal with it, but it's boring and he stops a lot! Once I get into zumbathon I'll start going back to intermediate it's a far better workout, and much more fun!


    Did 45 mins of expert zumba on the Wii and have an hour long class tonight!!!

    Anyone else notice that they are dancing a lot more when they have the radio on? My sister stopped by yesterday while I was cleaning and Dip it low came on the ipod and I was shaking my booty about a foot from the floor... Fell down and started laughing hysterically! :blushing:

    Just finished my fifth zumba workout of the week (I took Wednesday off), 45 mins of expert level. Also, I unlocked ZUMBATHON on the Wii!!!!!!!!! I'll either try it tomorrow or Monday! Can't wait! Oh, also I haven't seen a reduction in my arms yet but I seem to have lost an inch and a half off my waist in the last week!

    I'm still rather new to Zumba. I went to 2 classes the first week, and joined the second week and went twice more. Does anyone have any advice regarding getting an inexpensive video for home use? The ones I've found on the internet are $90, and that just isn't possible with my budget yet. (and we don't own a game system to be able to get a game either at this point) I'm currentlt working out at the gym 5 days a week, and doing 2 Zumba classes a week.
