    I LOVE LOVE LOVE ZUMBA!!! I go twice a week, maybe 3 times if i have some more time. I wear a calorie counter watch and you burn at least 600 calories!!! at least!! It's a great way to get cardio in by dancing and having fun and working muscles. you will be sore the next day! you should def give it a try!!!

    I have, it's lots of fun. Very dancy, but the routines are repetitive so you can pick them up. And I've noticed there's all different kinds of people, more larger women feel comfortable there I think, It's also a good work out; got me sweating and huffing, which is my criteria for a good work out. I'm not in great shape, but getting there. :smile:

    I have Zumba for Wii and it's the only workout that I WANT to go back to. It's fun and you can pick your level: beginner, intermediate, etc. Try it out - you'll love it!

    Oh! YA! Zumba is fun and burns loads of cals. It really depends on the instructor. Some are fast paces, others a little slower. But you almost don't even know your working out because it can be a lot of fun =)

    I just picked up the instructional zumba basics and 20 minute workout, and I am wondering why 1/2 way through the instructional video!!! I have 2 left feet!!!! I don't know how I will burn calories when I keep tripping over my own feet before starting the actual workout. Guess it takes PRACTICE?!!! Oh well, dancing is fun, and hopefully I won't have 2 left feet forever!

    I love it! In all honesty I never even think about the calorie burn I just have great fun. My instructors great at giving varying intensities and offering high impact alternatives so I always feel it the next day!

    Try it, what have you got to lose?!?

    The Zumba videos are actually a bit more tricky than doing an actual class, but it's a ton of fun no matter how you do it. You'll get better and better each time, but aside from all of that, just keep on moving! That's the important part. :)

    I LOVE zumba! It's so kuch fun! You will feel kinda awkward until you learn the steps. After 5 times of going I noticed a dfference in my love handles, and I wasn't even dieting at the point. It's also one of those you get what you give type workouts. The harder you work the faster you see results.

    I eventually skipped the intro and went right to the 30 minute video. It was easier than the instructional video! But boy did it work my core!!! I am not sure how I am going to do my 30D Shred tomorrow!!!

    I do Zumba as part of my routine when I can but I haven't done it as my only workout. I know several people who have lost tons of weight doing it though :)

    I love it and am not all that coordinated. I laugh and sweat so I consider it successful. My advice to you, try it at least 3 times before you give up on it. It can be frustrating the first night, but don't give up!

    I just finished 30 mins of one of my zumba video and I feel the burn and sweating ALOT....I just love...don't really have the time to go to the live classes like I used to. But the DVDs are doing it for me now. Has anyone tried the new set of DVDs that came out this summer?

    I'm addicted to zumba!! It's so much fun, I do it at home.

    I've got the 1st set & now also have the Exhilarate set too, it's a more intense workout.

    I was doing it for about 6 months & noticed a difference in my body. The last 8 weeks I've been on here & lost 14lb & the difference is really obvious now!!

    Give it a go, you won't regret it :smile:
