I just did my first Zumba class. DANG!!!! It's FUN!!!! And although I proved once again I have NO rhythm and dance like a chained elephant, I was smiling ear to ear the whole time! Gotta go again.

...oh...and the 800 calories burned don't hurt none, either!!!

    Isn't it fun! Its my favorite form of exercise! I also probably leave something to be desired dance-wise, but I just hoped it made people not want to watch me! :)

    Zumba is a latin dance class or as my instructor says "fitness class" You don't have to know how to dance or just shake it like it's nobodies business and sweat and smile. I have been going two times a week, but I just found out that there is another class on Wednesdays that I wilil be adding in. It flies by and it's a great workout. You push yourself as hard as you like. I sweat more at that class than I do on my 3 mile walks or the time I spend on the eliptical.

    EVERYBODY SHOULD TRY IT, IT'S ADDICTIVE!

    I'm so jealous! I want a Zumba class so bad! I don't have a gym membership, but I would pay the non-member price, just to go to that class a few times a week. I love dancing (and shakin' it :wink: )! Oh well, I guess it's the downside of living in a small town. :grumble:

    I love zumba. I feel like I have much energy after the class.
    I go 3 times a week. I wish I can take it 5 days a week but my gym does not have it every day.
    Hip hop is good too. Since you have to remember the routine, you mind got a work out also.

    Zumba is my favorite way to exercise! It really does feel like a party, not a workout! By the time I leave I am soaking in sweat!

    Love it!

    Zumba.com has the videos on sale. I also recommend getting to a class with an awesome instructor. You will never want to do zumba in your living room again!

    I saw the videos, in brief. The moves will definitely get you sweating and give you a good workout. I didn't enjoy it as well as my class at the Y though!!! I agree, if you can find a fun instructor, that is the best way to go!!
