I tried Zumba for the first time tonight, and I LOVED it. That is my type of exercise. So much fun!! Mind you I was hopeless at it, but still worked up an awesome sweat! Who else loves zumba?

    I did Zumba for two years. Loved it, but am now finding that I am not losing any weight with it. So, I have started spinning classes. I am planning on going to a Zumba class this Sat.

    Been looking at classes for this locally, as I get bored of only cycling... what sort of calorie burn does it have ?
    Is it good for getting in shape? And is it suitable for someone with mild pulmonary obstruction ? (who manages to cycle up lots of hills )

    Yep love it! what I love as well is that you don't have to be ultra co-ordinated, that comes with practice.

    Our instructor turns off the lights and puts on disco lights so less worry of what others are doing!!

    graelwyn I am 66kgs and 178cm and 1 hour of Zumba burns 431 calories. I've created my own exercise and based it on Aerobics, general.
    arickim I am so hopeless at it, I go one way when everyone is going the other, but its still so much fun, no one cares.

    I love it..It works my whole body. When I want to up my game, I throw on my hand and feet weights...extra intense. Has anyone lost a lot of weight from the classes????

    I only just started tonight so I don't know what its like for weight loss but anything that intense would be good I'd think! I'm pretty much on maintenance now anyway though. I just want ABS like the teacher has. They are fantastic!!!

    meeeeeeeeeee

    I've been doing it at least 2, sometimes 4 days a week!

    it's kind of a problem, actually, because I really want to do more strength training but I like zumba too much. lol

    I LOVE Zumba and teach it! Zumba burns roughly 500-100 in an hour depending on how hard you work. Zumba love!

    It's a great workout! My boss is doing Zumba 5 times a week and she has lost a ton of weight and looks great! Another friend of mine does it about 3-4 times a week and already lost 20 lbs... of course they are also eating a 1200 calorie diet along with the Zumba.
