    I do Aqua Zumba and LOVE it. Its just like land Zumba only differents is that you are in the water. I've just got back into it after 6 months so I've been eating right, took 2 classes of Aqua Zumba last week and a few nights dancing to the Wii those Just dance games and have lost -9 pounds and it hasnt been 2 weeks just yet :). I find that I can move easier because I am heavy. Bonus: No one can see you moving in the water only your zumba teacher :):)

    A work out with the bore!! I look forward to every class. There is no dragging my feet. I have met several other ladies in my class and we chit chat before and after class now and then. I lose inches faster than weight, but I feel the soreness in my muscles so I know I am gaining the muscle and the pounds withh follow. Enjoy!!!

    I've been doing Zumba for over 18 months, if you find the right teacher is AMAZING, my boyfriend and i go together, we also go to the gym and do other fitness classes but agree Zumba is the best.

    You get lost in the music and an hour has past before you know it! soooooooo much fun, and i know it's even bigger in the states than it is here in England, and it's HUGE here!! :o)

    love love love Zumba! I've been doing Zumba 2 on the Wii for a little over a month and I STILL look forward to doing it EVERY time lol I actually just invested in a $75 paid of Zumba shoes because I have carpet in my house and those shoes don't have tread so they make it easier to do a lot of turns and pivots. The only places that offer classes where I live is the gym, which you have to pay a membership to, otherwise I would go to a live class.

    I have been an instructor for two years going on three...when I started the program before I got certified, I went 3 times a week for 3 months straight and lost the pounds like crazy!!!! I watched my portions also....totall of about 30lbs...it's usually about a 55 minute class..and the time goes by quick since you're having so much fun...if you go to a zumba class and dont sweat...FIND ANOTHER CLASS!!!! If I dont sweat there it is time to move on....:) Have fun with it though!!!! I LOVE IT!!!

    Yes! I did a session of Zumba (about 10 classes) and noticed a bit of a weight loss, mostly around my mid area. I also had some tone and new strength in my arms (since you hold them up a lot!) Most dramatically I noticed an increase in my overall energy. It is fantastic high heart rate cardio and I recommend it to anyone. Not to mention it's very fun!

    Zumba is great, but I don't think anyone would want to see me doing this in a class :blushing: so I do mine from home via the Xbox :laugh:

    Zumba is a ton of fun! I have the Wii game and it kicks my butt weekly. I have had it for 2 months and haven't gotten bored. I've only done it live once but that was a blast too! If you have friends that are interested, get them in the game as well. You definitely know you have worked out. Great cardio, can def. feel your heart rate increase.
