I am sooo uncoordinated and they move so fast! I did sweat however, probably from moving/flapping/kicking every part of my body while trying to copy them lol

    It's still fun, and it gets easier. Keep going back, everyone had to start where you are now. You'll see a big improvement quickly.

    I'm not a dance kind of person.
    I am now a convert to kettlebells. Cardio and weights all in one.
    It's fun!

    It took me a few classes, as long as I went when it was the same instructor, to get the stuff down. If you enjoyed it keep going. For me it wasn't hardcore enough but it was a fun thing to do on the side.

    I always thought I had pretty decent rhythm, going dancing with the girls and such. Zumba makes me feel a bit like a klutz. But I still enjoy it. It does get easier after a while. If you enjoy the music and the moves, I say try it a few more times.

    I'm a Zumba disaster too. But I keep going, since I burn in excess of 500 calories in an hour. Even uncoordinated people still burn a ton :)

    I agree. The more you go the better it gets. It may not help your coordination but its fun and it works. Go for it.

    Tell you what I know,......I'm 51 and the First time I went to Zumba, I was the Bigest Gal there, But not the Oldest, So I got with the Hens and they told me this, What Ever you do Just Keep Moving! I Did and am wondering why I'm Not doing Zumba now! You can do it!

    There is a Zumba game for Wii, XBox Kinnect and PS3 Move. I have it for the Move. Fun stuff! There are DVDs available as well. I love the express 20 minute workout for days when you're short on time. The games and videos are cool, but I love taking an actual Zumba class the most :)
