I was really thinking about trying Zumba But I've never tried it and don't know anyone who has. I was just curious to know who's tried and what your thoughts are on it. Do you like it and have you seen result? Any feedback would be great!!!

I love watching people do it
My Y has it and it has to be their largest class next to bodypump.
Everyone looks like they are having so much fun.0 -
I love it and it provides a great calorie burn
I take class 2x a week as part of my exercise goals on MFP, and it has helped me reach my weight goal! 0 -
I do Zumba on a Thursday and it's great fun it takes a couple of classes to get the movements in time but they tell you just go with the flow and enjoy yourself0

I tried regular Zumba & it was too hard on my old knees. Went to my first water zumba class yesterday & I LOVED it!!! It is so much fun & the music really keeps you going.0

I tried it once that a school was doing for a fundraiser. It was so much fun, and that is coming from someone who has ABSOLUTELY NO rhythm. I enjoyed it so much, that I bought a set of Zumba videos on QVC. I haven't used all of them, but I do use the 20 minute one almost every Mon-Fri morning as my wakeup routine. I also have used the 45 minute video and 1 hour video. I do like them.
Everyone I know enjoys Zumba. But, I have heard that it also depends on the instructors too. Which I could see that being true.0 -
It's fun. Especially if you love to shake your booty. I love it and I love to shake my booty, so it's a win-win. You do work up a sweat, but it doesn't make me feel sore afterwards, even if I'm feelin' a lil' sore during because I'm not use to it, yet.0

Do it on the xbox at home and it kicks my butt! My daughters and I have so much fun doing it! I wish we had water zumba here!!0

Do men do it? It does look fun and it looks like it would be a great calorie burn. I have no interest being a creep if Zumba
is a woman only thing. Honestly I would only be there for the workout...... (and the occasional glance maybe. LOL)0 -
I do Zumba classes 2 times a week...plus several times a week at home on my Wii. Its awsome..energetic..enjoyable..great musick..and i love doing it with a group. You have to try it you will LOVE it!0

I wish I had tried Zumba long ago! Instead, I was worried about being self-conscious and not being able to keep up the moves. Not the case at all! Nobody is paying attention to what you're doing, they're all busy watching the instructor. It is SO much fun, and such a great burn! I've been doing it 5 times a week, and just bought Zumba Fitness Rush for the Xbox360. Love it!! Give Zumba a try!0

Its great hearing the feedback! I got a set of dvd's I think I'm going to try tonight after dinner!! I'm excited to learn and burn some calories in the process. I'm not that great of a dancer but It sounds like fun!!0

I do it 2 x week and I would do it more if my gym had more classes. It is taught jointly by a 60+ y.o. woman and a 40ish guy. She is the one that encourages us shout and sing and he is better technically. There are a couple of guys that attend regularly and a couple more that attend on and off. At first I was a little shy about guys being in the room knowing that they would take the occasional glance
. But then I caught myself sneeking a couple of glances at the guys too!
ETA: I absolutely love it and try to never miss a class.0 -
Love it!! Started doing it at the gym. when my gym membership expired, I bought the DVD and do it at home. Try it!0
-
Lovvvve.
This past month I did 30 day shred + 2-4 days of Zumba a week and I lost a total 3.6lbs. That's a lot considering I'm 5 away from goal, I think.
If you get bored of cardio Zumba will DEFINITELY inspire you to keep going. Highly recommended
Edited to add: I have an HRM and I burn usually at least 400 calories per hour, not including our cool down stuff.0 -
I used to do Zumba at the gym, then I bought the PS3 Zumba game and now I play it every day at home. It's the only exercise I do currently. Lost 7.5 kg so far.0

I love Zumba! It is so much fun no matter how ridiculous I look! If you really commit to doing it (move with purpose) you can burn at least 500 calories! It has helped me lose 15 lbs! Try it! Even if you can't do the steps exactly like the instructor just keep moving! It makes a difference!0

i joined it at the Y and I loved doing it. I then bought the DVD's online and started doing it at home. When I was doing it at the Y I lost 10lbs. I then started getting side tracked and quit doing it. It is fun when you do it with a group of people. Although when you are at home it is at your own pace.0

i LOVE zumba, i do it 3 times a week. It depends on your teacher we had a sub filling in today and she is a regular on monday nights and everyone was walking out. There are men in my class they seem to enjoy it.0

I've got the XBOX game and really like it. I also really like The Black Eyed Peas Experience game. Not quite the same thing, but it gets you moving and it's fun.0

It's fun. Great calorie burner. I bought the DVDs for Xmas
Love them!!0 -
I did it a few years ago for maybe a month, Didnt notice weightloss but my cardio levels/endurance had greatly improved! After I saw this post I went to youtube and found a 15 min routine to do. I logged it under dance as there wasnt a zumba and it reckoned in 15mins i burnt 84 calories. I was sweating in all sorts of places. I think its worth a try.0

What catagory do I put zumba in to track my exercise?0
-
Zumba? YES
