I hear/read so many stories about Zumba, and everything I hear seems so positive. I'd like to try it, but I am a very uncoordinated person. I trip over myself walking and even lose my balance when I'm doing nothing other than standing still. Any other uncoordinated people out there who have given Zumba a go and liked it?

    I almost sprained my ankle today by taking a wrong step in Zumba lol. I find the more I go, the better I get and even if you can't do all the moves, it's really fun to go shake it to the music. I'm finding myself dancing around the house when I do chores now. Try it!

    I am very uncoordinated! And i can't dance at all! I really wanted to try zumba because it looks so fun but i was so scared to try it at my gym. I bought it for my xbox instead! I am so glad I did. I play it at home and it's so much fun! I;m sure its not the same as actually going to zumba class but I really like it!

    It is sooo much fun. I am not coordinated and I can do it, so you'll be fine!!!! It doesn't feel like a workout, it just feels like you're out dancing!

    Your coordination will improve the more you exercise, so give it a shot. Honestly, I look like a goofball when I do Zumba but it is still fun from time to time.

    I go 3 times a week and I am NOT a good dancer...I have 2 left feet!! It's a great workout and alot of fun! I had a friend drag me along and the thing she told me about it is to remember to laugh at yourself! I do that alot. I was worried about people staring and laughing at me but soon realized that no one really pays attention to me! I stand in the back because having people behind me makes me really nervous!! Hope you have a great time!!

    I think we all feel this way, at least in the beginning. I did the Curves Zumba for a while... It's so much fun, but in order to learn the moves I had to do the Zumba without the Curves machines. I'm hoping when I get back into it I'll be able to manage both.

    I agree with the others. It gets easier the more you go so don't give up! It's tons of fun and was the first gym class I took. A great motivator for me and such a fun workout! Have fun!
