The Power of Zumba

in Success Stories
To all the people who put down Zumba, I just want to share some before/after pictures.
Zumba is what you put into it! If you can't let loose and have fun and really put some effort into it, of course you're not going to see any results! And yes, it is possible to burn up to 800 calories in one session. I still do, even at my lowest weight. All classes are different, and I am blessed with some kick-*kitten* instructors who really get you moving. My total weight loss to date is 140 lbs.

    That's so awesome, good for you!! That can be said about pretty much any workout, you will only get out of it what you put into it.

    I LOVE ZUMBA. (haha inside joke to anyone who goes!) I tell members of my gym all the time to come give it a try. Also if you dont like the class you went to.. it could be the instructor, so try it more than once.
    Simple rule to follow: The fuller the class.. the better the instructor..

    I am a front row girl.. and I tell newbies .. I have CRD. Caucasion Rhythm Disorder.. You dont have to get it right.. just keep moving.

    I've been doing Zumba for almost two years now. It took me a few classes to really love it and now i'm addicted. There are constantly new routines coming out so it's never boring!

    I tried Zumba once but found that I can't replace my dearly beloved weight exercises and traditional cardio :(

    Congratulation!!!! You look wonderful! I LOVE Zumba...I do it at the house with the Wii and nothing makes me sweat like Zumba. I love riding my bike but it just doesn't get your blood pumping like Zumba does. Since I do it at home in my living room I don't have to feel self concious...maybe some day I will be ready to make my public debut! LOL

    You look amazing! I love, love, love Zumba!!!! I burn just around 800+ calories a day by doing Zumba as well, so who cares what anyone else thinks! I've only been doing this for 80 days and I've lost close to 30 lbs from watching what I eat and doing Zumba!
