I have been doing the Zumba videos at home for a couple of weeks... and I love the Live party (the ones where they teach you the steps bore me, and i do not get a great workout). I tried the Zumba abs last night and loved it too. My question is what else is out there that might be good to try. I can feel that the affect of my workout is not as good as it once was, and it is becoming routine.

Any thoughts on what to do next?

Thanks for any help!



I have only 9 more lbs to go to reach my first major goal... :happy:

    I haven't tried the Live thing that you were talking about. I loved doing the Cardio Party DVD but after doing it alot I started to feel like it wasn't as hard either. That's when I decided to do the whole work-out using hand weights. Just one way to add in some resistance and make it more challenging. ;-)

    I did the same thing...then I joined LifeTime Fitness and went to an actual group Zumba class --- 100% different and a way better workout! Plus you meet people who keep you accountable...It's a lot more fun than doing it alone. Our classes are all with the lights out so it feels like a dance party -- I have a lot of video workouts but they all bore me to death :(

    This is what I was going to say, are you able to go to a live class??? I am not sure I would like having the lights out though...lol.

    Thank you so much for all of the tips! I really find it hard to get out of the house to go to a real class because of my kids. I usually do my workouts when my kids and husband(he works a very early shift) have all gone to bed at night, and though I could leave the house once they are all asleep by then it is 9 or 10 and I doubt there are classes that late. :)

    I have been wanting to try insanity - but just hate the thought of putting all that money out there for something I am not sure if I will like enough to follow through with. A friend told em to check out the workout videos on netflix, and i have some coming from there.

    Thanks so much!! :)
