    That's really great!! It looks like you've had a lot of fun while doing it too, added bonus! I've never gotten into zumba classes for the fact that I don't think I could let loose enough to actually have fun with it and get a workout out of it. I have done videos at home before and I liked them! Congrats on your weight loss!!

    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.

    :)

    CRD...cracks me up...I have it too!!! OP...you look awesome!!!

    AWESOME results!! I love Zumba and I am not cordinated at all. I think it all depends on your instructor. Don't like one class try another. The main thing is to keep moving moving moving!

    I, too, have been doing Zumba with my 20-something year-old daughters, but the problem I face is that I'm 51, and I can't always keep up. Any advice?

    :wink: You look STUNNING DARLING!!! I play Zumba on the WII and I must say its more than just a game. I play to burn as many calories as I can. Keep up the good work.

    Way to go! There's a workout for everyone-that's what I love about exercise! I'm not very coordinated and wasn't crazy about zumba, but I know people that LOVE it and it has made a HUGE difference to them! You look amazing, girl!

    Awesome work, congrats!

    Zumba is great, I burn more calories doing Zumba than anything else I have tried so far including various Jillian Michaels workouts and Brazil Butt Lift - confirmed by my Bodybugg.

    I add in other stuff because I'm trying to build muscle while I burn fat, but for blasting calories there's nothing better than Zumba if you really get into it! :)

    I love Zumba! I just started doing it recently...so fun and burns more calories than anything else I'm doing! I do it on the wii sometimes too.

    You look absolutley AMAZING! I started going to Zumba once a week in March when I joined MFP. I was nervous at first because I am one of the "older" ladies. I found that everyone was fun and supportive.

    Now I go to ZUMBA class 4 times a week and can't live without it!

    I started Zumba a few days ago, but I am terrible at doing the moves. Do you have to get it right every single time? I do have a lot of fun doing the work out I am just worried that because I am a terrible dancer that it will not work for me like it has the others.

    You look amazing! Congratulations - you should be very proud.

    I'm another Zumba lover and for anyone thinking about it but feeling self-conscious, just go. You'll screw up the moves but the beauty is that no one cares. There is always someone who will be "better" than you andsomeone who will be "worse" than you but it doesn't matter at all because as long as you keep moving you will burn calories and improve.

    Thats awesome, what was your eating like during the loss. I do Zumba 4 times a week as well, only lost 6lbs so far.

    Thanks for the motivation will be going to my hole in the wall class that I absolutely love. I myself just started going to Zumba and it really feels like a party and I love feeling sore when I know I had so much fun:bigsmile:

    I absolutely LOVE Zumba. I started the Zumba workouts to help me with my dancing and body movements/coordination. I've always loved to dance but I've never been good at moving my hips...always moved kinda stiff. It took a few weeks to get some of the moves down so I'm sure I looked rediculous. I didn't care though, I was having fun. Now that I know how to do the moves and can shake my hips, I put my own flare to the moves and really get into the dancing. I have a HRM and just doing a 30 min workout, I can burn anywhere between 350-425 calories. Just think of what I can burn doing the longer DVDs...if only I had that much time. The few time's I have done the 45 min DVD/Cardio Party, my 4 year old starts interupting me so it's hard to finish.

    You look phenominal by the way. Congrats:)
