    I will tell you what my kick a** instructor tells us - "if your new and don't know the moves, that's ok - you'll learn them. Just keep moving and have fun." Keep going, have fun and let your inhibitions go. Move and enjoy!

    I love doing Zumba! it is a grest cardio workout! The gym I'm a member of offers it daily! I try to do it three times a week! It took some time to get use to the moves and I felt a bit shy with the booty shaking and hip swaying, but now I shake and sway with the best of them!

    Personally, I wouldn't knock any workout that produce results as yours! Great work! You look awesome!

    I have the Zumba Game for the Wii, because I live in a place where I do not have a sitter for my children. I find it to be very fast pace and when I am done I am covered in sweat. I just wanted to make sure because I am not doing some of the moves exactly the way they are it was still alright.

    I wish that I could go to a class, but I am new to TN, and don't know anyone really.

    WOW Well done! I am a zumba addict too, have never found an exercise I enjoyed until now..... I am hoping when I get to goal that I can do my instructor training & show others that you can go from hating any exercise to panicking when you can't get to class lol!

    Amazing transformation, I guess its time to get into Zumba for me. I have the wii version but dont know if the DVDs would be better than the wii. Right now I do walk away the pounds but want to change it up a bit.

    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.

    Where I take zumba at my instructor tells us worry less about getting the moves perfect and more about putting everything you have into it, getting a great workout, and having fun. I seriously sometimes get so off, but I sweat up a storm and can burn around 600 calories in an hour (for my weight/height/age, its an incredible burn, and around the same I get for a spin class).

    You look AMAZING! Great job!

    I too am a zumba lover ;) It took me a few months of classes to get the hang of it, and I'm by no means perfect, but I have most of it down. A lot has to be said for your instructor! My classes have 4 different instructors; sometimes we only have 1, sometimes all 4!!! So every class is different!

    I have combined zumba with weight training (and eating mostly clean of course) and have gone from 185 (and over 38% bodyfat) to now 154 (and 24% bodyfat).... and still losing!

    I love Zumba. I haven't done it for a while and instead have been doing other things (elliptical, spinning, etc.) Your pictures may be inspiring me to go back!!!!
