Hello everyone!! I would first like to say that I absolutely LOVE Zumba. Its easy, its fun and it get you results. So I thought why not start a Zumba challenge with others who feel the same about Zumba or new to Zumba!....

The challenge would go from November 1st- November 30th. And there will be a new challenge every week. For example, Week 1: 30 minutes of Zumba 5 days a week. And Week 2: 45 minutes of Zumba 5 days a week and so on! Also drinking 8 cups of water daily ( this is something I struggle with, so Im looking for a little motivation with this myself.) Those times are just the minimum for the challenge, if u want work out more, as I know some days I will!!

Im looking to start with a sizable group because I did a 30 Day Shred challenge for October and only 4 of us remain. So by November 30th I would love to have a great number of people remaining for the Zumba challenge.

If you would like to join just let me know in this post!!

Start date is Tuesday, November 1st.

So if you plan to join post your starting weight and measurements (where u want to see inches lost). I only measure my thighs, stomach and hips, you can of course measure whatever you want. Post here or message me by the morning of November 1st.

I will make a spreadsheet of our progress on the 1st of November so we can see where we all start and the progress we're!

Lets motivate and be motivated!! (Dont forget to add all the challenge members as friends!!)

*Also, weigh ins are Tuesday, November 1st and every Monday afterwards, November 7, 14, 21 and instead of Monday again , final weigh in on Wednesday, November 30th.

    Hello! I would love to join! My only problem is that I wouldnt be able to actually start until November 2. My husband is in training for deployment at the moment. He is flying home tomorrow morning for a few days before he ships out. Im taking him back to the airport on the first. If this is not a problem I can do my measurements and everything on the 2nd and get it to you.

    I'll join, too. I do Zumba for most of my workouts anyway, so it shouldn't be too much of a stretch for me. I've never actually joined a group like this before. Is there anywhere special I need to go for tracking or anything? Do we keep in touch through mail? How's it work?

    When everyone join and give me their starting weight, I will make a spreadsheet for tracking our progress. We should all just add each other as friends to keep in touch and we can also keep in touch thru this post. We simply do Zumba for the month of Novmeber and weigh in every Monday, motivate each other and be motivated.

    I have the DVD set for home too. I got it about 1.5 years ago. I wish I had the $ to buy the newer set! :) But I love it!

    I'm in. I bought the Wii Zumba a while back but was not a fan because it was too sensitive -- gave me credit for barely -- and I do mean barely moving. Do you have any suggestions for other Zumba DVDs? I also plan to go to a Zumba class on Saturdays for 1 hour.

    Thanks for thinking of this...I really need good motivation. My goal was to get the rest of my baby weight off my the end of the year (150). I don't know if that's attainable or realistic, but I'm going to give it my best go. Here are my measurements. :)

    Current weight: 163.8
    Waist: 36.5
    Hips: 39
    Thighs :25

    Count me in! I backed out of the last zumba challenge I joined but I'm hoping to stay motivated this time! I don't have my measurements right now but i'll be sure to post them by the 1st.

    I'm thinking about joining, but a bit worried I'll be doing the same thing for a month as I only have one dvd. I'm doing 30 ds at the moment and that doesn't finish until the 11th so I'll have some overlap for variety I guess. AND I'm doing the C25K and that should end 16th December. Will I have time for it all I wonder?
