    Love zumba. Great calorie burner too. I like it because you have to learn the steps and it helps you forget that you are exercising.

    I've been taking Zumba for 2 weeks, 5 classes. I must say I am addicted!! It is the most I have ever sweated in my life. I feel great, and have lots more energy. My instructor said you can burn between 500 - 1000 in an hour depending on your intensity. Go for it!!!!!!

    I LOVE Zumba! I've seen online that it can burn around 800 calories for a person my size. That seems pretty extreme though, so I usually count it as 600 to leave room for error. It's fun, too!

    I just got Zumba on ps3 last week for my birthday and I absolutely love it! I was sweating by the end of the first 20-minute dance but because I was dancing, it didn't feel like exercise at all. I'm not sure how it stacks up to an actual class, but if it's anything like the game, you'll absolutely love it!

    I love Zumba! Just went last night. My instructor is insane!!! She is totally into it and there is this guy up front that gets all into it to. So you just see them having a ball, start laughing and get into it too. It's so much fun and you totally forget you're exercising. It's just dancing. Really feels like a party once you learn all the moves!

    Best workout ever!:smile: After going a few times you don't feel like your working out. Most of time you think its just a really big dance party. :drinker: I love it, go 3x's a week.. It's hard for me to loose weight, but im down 9lbs with zumba, turbo fire and eating healthier. On a 60 min session you would probably burn 500+ calories. :noway:

    GOOD LUCK! I hope you like it!

    I have Zumba for the Kinect and I LOVE it! I am not a work out person and I honestly hate going to the gym because I am always thinking down on myself when I see the blonde bombshell on the treadmill. I can do it in my home, can pause it when I need to grab a drink or if the kids get up and need something. I LOVE Zumba because you are focused on getting the moves down that you don't realize you are working out. Then when you are done you are like wow I'm sweating! It's a great thing to get involved in!

    Does anyone know of any good Zumba videos I could buy for family members? They love it, but are sometimes not able to make it for various reasons.

    I like my Zumba classes! I'm not very coordinated and it takes me a while to learn new steps/combinations, but it's fun. :) Remember to bring some water, and if you have large breasts, it helps to get a no-bounce sports bra....:blushing:

    ...although I wouldn't recommend going on an incline treadmill before class- got to the Y early last week and decided to burn a few extra cals, I was HURTING, lol!
