    Absolutely!!! I have been an instructor since September and teach twice a week! I love that the music and the dancing makes the workout go so fast! :heart:

    Love it! Word of advice, do not look at yourself in the mirror while doing zumba. I end up laughing at myself and forgetting to follow the instructor. LOL

    I love to dance! I've been teaching group exercise for over 15 years and always hated the music we had to use, knowing there was a better way. I went nuts when I saw Zumba and got certified to teach it right away. I've been teaching for 4 years now and can't wait for my next class!!!

    I've only been doing Zumba for a week now and I love it!! I do it in the privacy of my own home, so when my jiggly parts are shaking only me and the animals can see. I do it on the Wii using Zumba 2. It's fun, loud, and definitely a "work out."

    Zumba is probably my favorite exercise (and I hate exercise). It is so much fun... it makes me want to train to be an instructor. Plus, you burn a crazy amount of calories in a short amount of time.

    Great music, great moves, and a fun time!

    I don't think a lot of guys do it, but I have a few in my class, and they enjoy as much as the girls... they only get a little shy when the moves are really sexy and girly, hehe!

    I'm on the fence about it since I somehow have grown two left feet

    No but it looks like fun. I plan to buy a Wii and do Zumba.

    Used to Line Dance and that was fun too.

    Zumba is great. It's like going to a party and dancing. I did it over the summer. You feel great and it puts you in a great mood! I hope to start again next month. Not everyone can follow the steps exactly but it's ok. As long as you keep moving and have fun.

    Love Zumba! I go to a Zumba Class every Wednesday at lunch at the Y. Everyone has a blast and even 1-3 guys show up to the class! I wish the Y offered more Zumba classes. I find it more enjoyable than the regular aerobics.

    I love Zumba. I've only attended 3 classes but it has been a great experience and within just this short amount of time there are more guys showing up with each class. About 10 guys I would say!

    Yup. Started taking classes in January and love it. Wish I could do it more than once a week. It kicks my butt and I'm sore everywhere the next day so I know I'm getting a thorough workout. I think it's even more effective than when I used to do Jazzercise.

    And there are a few men that come every so often and they are actually pretty good at keeping up.

    I go to Zumba either on Wednesdays or Mondays depending on my schedule. It's $5 a class and right now we're doing half an hour toning and the other half hour dancing. I burn almost 600 calories in the hour according to my heart rate monitor! LOVE IT! :D

    I am obsessed! I have lost 11 lbs in 2 months, I feel better about myself and take better care of myself. I go Monday nights to regular Zumba and then I do toning and Zumba on Tuesdays and Thursday nights (a total of at least 5 hours a week).

    It seems harder on the Wii but I love it just the same.
