Has anybody used them, and recommend them?
I plan on doing some form of exercise from 5.30am - 7am every morning before work (as my boyfriend gets up for his work at 5.30am and I only leave at 8).

Does anyone recommend zumba dvd;s? or is there something better I could use?

It does not need to be a DVD., even a certain exercise machine that would do me the most benefit?
We have a rowing machine, however I feel it doesn't target my full body, and would rather something that gave an all over work out.

Please and Spankyou! ((:

    Zumba is awesome and fun, even better if you can get someone to do it with you, cause if you are talking you burn more :) Zumba exhilarate is fun cause they use dances from around the world and you can do it for hours and don't feel like you are working out and you do burn a ton of calories

    Is it fair to say you work up a good sweat and burn a lot of calories?
    Does your body feel toned. ?

    I do use them, regularly. I do recommend them, most highly!

    I have the Exhilarate set and the one previous to that (cardio party, etc.) and love them both.

    I've been thinking about getting a few Zumba DVD's as well! With winter just around the corner here in Canada, I'll be moving my exercising indoors most days. Which Zumba DVD's are the best? Recommendations?

    Zumba is really incredible if you work hard! When I started doing Zumba on a regular basis I was getting a great workout because my heart rate was elevated for the entire duration of the workout and I was getting strength training at the same time. I noticed lbs. coming off and tones muscles, especially in my thighs! I've heard (now someone might want to verify this) that a full zumba workout for an hour can burn as much as 800 calories, and it's so much fun!!! Go for it! =)
