  • Every person burns different with Zumba. I wear a HRM and usually burn over 600 for 60 minutes. But it depends on how much you work it. The more you weigh the more you burn. If you can afford a HRM I would get one so you don't have to guess. It's the best thing I've bought since losing weight & exercising. I would thinkg…
  • Don't know what kind of exercise you're doing but I got Reebok Zigs for my Zumba class. I love these shoes!!! Great support and I can slide good!

  • I just bout Reebok Zigs for my Zumba class but we do it on a waxed type floor so I needed shoes that wouldn't stick. My New Balance walking shoes were sticking some & it hurt my knees cuz I couldn't slide. The Zigs are so comfy & my instructor suggested them. As far as wooden floor, something with a smooth bottom. Dance…
  • I use mine for workouts only. I believe that's what they are really meant for.
  • I use Herbalife. Not on the actual protien diet but I use their products. Total Control is my favorite! They havve good products. I did do the healthy meal shakes a few years back and it does work. I'd make pudding with it. I'm just trying something different this time.
  • I was told the more protein the better!
  • ZUMBA!!! It's fun & you burn a ton of calories!!!
  • Welcome! Good luck on your journey! You'll have great support here!
  • I was told if you use milk it;s to help build up muscle. Body builders use the protien powder with milk. For losing weight use water. If it's really bad you can use the skimmilk but I don't think you'll get the best results. After a while you'll get used to it though. I know I have. LOL Good luck!

  • Do it!!! Zumba is the best!! Burns a ton of calories and you don't have to know how to do it. You learn as you go and the more you do it the better you get and the more calories you burn! Latin fitness rocks!! I go 3 times a week and just got it for the Wii! Lot's of fun! You'll love it!!!!
  • I agree with emichan21. By using an HRM you'll know for sure. I got one just for that purpose. I'm not up as high as that but right now I'm between 555 & 680 calories. I've only been doing it since mid Nov. The more you work it the more you burn. Good luck!

  • I've been told to wait at least an hour after eating to work out. I do Zumba too. It's a blast and burns alot of calories! I work with a guy who is a trainer and said to eat eggs. If your are really set on not doing protein shakes eat eggs. I actually do a Whey Protein shake mixed with water after I work out. Kroger brand…

Cut down on portions you eat and watch what you eat. Exercise of any sort will help too. I've found Zumba and love it!!! Between doing…
  • Doing Zumba actually depends how hard you work it. I bought me a heart rate monitor so I could determine my calories burned. During my 60 minute class I go between 550 & 670. I just got the Wii Zumba for Christmas and only tried it out for 15 minutes. Went on vacation and just got back. Going to try it this weekend with my…
