anyone have actual zumba results??

The only workout I've been doing regularly is Zumba. But I've also been eating much healthier.

Between the two, I've lost 22.2 lbs in a little over 9 weeks.

I do feel like I have more stamina now, and I always really enjoy Zumba.

I know several Zumba instructors in my area that have lost tons of weight with Zumba. It's great cardio, and its fun.

I also do it on the Wii. You can get a good little workout in 20 minutes, when you are pressed for time.

Zumba is super fun, and can be a great workout with the right enthusiasm and a great instructor. Our class is so big it outgrew all of the group exercise rooms, so now they hold it in the gym (basketball court). I don't take it all the time, but it's fun to get my groove on now and then - it's a big dance party!

I have kind of a different success story. I started Zumba classes 3 times a week in February of 2011 I was also doing treadmill and weight 2 times a week. I signed up with MFP in February of 2012. In that year I had only lost 2lbs! I changed my eating habits when I started MFP but kept the same basic work out schedule. I also started 30 Day Shred this month that I would not have been able to do if I hadn't of been doing Zumba for so long. Since starting MFP I have dropped 26lbs, only by changing what I am eating and continuing with Zumba at the very least 2 times a week. I love Zumba! The endurance that you gain is unreal, but I have also notice different people in my classes not pushing themselves and not even sweating. I work up a sweat! In all honesty Zumba paved the way for me to drive myself to push harder and it is so fun. I agree with another poster on here about not doing the DVD at home. I have done both and I just love the fun in the actual class and laughing and everyone doing it with you. It is like a dance party!

My Zumba instructor lost 80 pounds in just over a year -- all she did was Zumba every day and cut out snacking between meals. She looks amazing. I need to get her over here so she can post before/after pictures!

I've noticed that zumba has improved my stamina and general fitness

Who knows a good DVD about Zumba:happy:

Zumba wii 100% it's as good ad classes but with no talking which they need to incorporate x

A friend of mine has had some pretty impressive results from Zumba. She's been doing Zumba for just over a year. She's not on MFP, but has a page where she's documenting her journey. Here's one of her status updates.

"I've tried to keep this about being healthy, fit and feeling good rather than about the numbers associated with my journey but I gotta take a minute to brag about the numbers... I've gone from a Size 26 to a size 14! I'm wearing jeans that I never thought possible and getting stoked at the possibility of shrinking out of
them ♥"

I go to Zumba class 3 times a week and its my most favorite form of exercise! I burn 400-550 calories for 55 minutes usually. It's so much fun!

This may not be what you are looking for but I have done zumba several times now and each time it kicks my butt. I have a very athletic instructor and amazed at the pain she can add to my workout. I do about 40-45 mins on the arc trainer and weights and never feel it the next day in my core as when I zumba.


LOVE IT!

I just started it and do it at 24 Hour fitness. Our instructor is AMAZING! She's a crazy little ball of energy and I have never sweat so much in my life. It's only been about three weeks but I can tell you I feel stronger and more energetic than ever. I'll even double-up and do it after Spinning. Hopefully I'll have some results to share soon, but it's a 600 calorie + burn every hour (if you have an upbeat instructor and are really moving...and we are in our class!). Worth every second.
