    I'm doing more than just Zumba, but since the beginning of the year I have lost 42.5 lbs. I normally burn between 600-1000 calories in an hours of Zumba - just depends on which songs she does and how much effort I put forth. My instructor lost 60 lbs in less than a year doing just Zumba, though.

    I lost inches, especially in the waist/abdomen area. I have doing Zumba since December of last year. I love it!

    I have lost about 30 lbs with Zumba and Body Pump! I swear by it lol. I am a Zumba instructor as well and while I was at training, this same question was asked and there was a woman there who had lost 103 lbs with Zumba! As another person mentioned on this thread, it depends on what songs an instructor plays, the intensity of the song, and the effort you put into it!!

    I started my weight loss goal with zumba (wii) so it's hard to tell. It's definitly toned my legs something fierce though! I go with about 200 calories burned for 20 minutes of zumba, but that is just a guess based on what others have said with 600-1000 calories an hour. It could be that I'm burning more.

    bottom line: I HIGHLY recommend it
