I have been doing Zumba fitness for about a year now and its wonderful. I do it at my local Ymca. has anyone heard of it???

Its a latin dance /aerobics class and its FUN FUN FUN!

if you are leary on trying it, TRY IT. its so worth it. and my classes are filled with all ages!

all levels.

NOW, why since i exercise doing zumba twice a week. a yoga class 1 time a week and the eliptical for 45 mins twice a week am i not losing weight? it goes to show you, my food intake is WAY WAY TOO MUCH. i am so happy i found this site. I am now logging every bit of food that enters these lips and It does help to watch what your eating.

I always had that mentality, of "hey i exercised today i deserve the food"

NOT. i lost weight last summer from exercising alone, but i think my body got smart and now i find im gaining.

I am stopping this diet insanity now. I am way too youg for this.

but anyways, this whole thread was just to see if anyone does zumba and loves it like me. hehe
Hugs

    I have been trying to get the zumba videos for a long time. a friend of mine showed them to me years ago and I've been trying to find them ever since. I just found them online and for my next small goal reward I'm going to buy them. I don't think our local gym has a zumba class, but I'm going to look into it.

    I love to dance to latin music...sometimes if I dont' feel like doing my workout tape I'll play some merengue and salsa and even reggaeton and just have a blast!

    I'm going to google it now thanks!!!

    I love my Zumba class. The instructor is a nut and makes it a lot of fun. We even have a guy in the class - and he gets teased mercilessly, but he seems to love it.. :laugh:

    Highly recommend... Janie
