Try Zumba!

Hey ladies,

I have started incorporating Zumba in my weight loss regimen. It's been out for a few years but it's everywhere around the world, and people can't get enough. I can't! I think I'm obsessed lol.

I found an instructor and ladies if you are bored with home DVDs and the 1 and 2 and 3 and 4 stuff, Zumba is great.
It's like dancing but omg you work a sweat. The last class I did was an hour long and we lost 590 calories.

You don't have to know how to dance either lol. There is a cost but it's not too bad.

I'm doing my 5th class and I still leave there tired as heck lol

Go to their main site to find classes/instructors in your area.

I did my first Zumba class last night, and it was so much fun. But man am I sore this morning. I have been doing BodyJam classes, which are a bit like hiphop, and I found the steps quite difficult, but Zumba is so much easier, and I found that because I didn't have to focus on my steps so much, I worked out harder and enjoyed it more.
I am going to buy a set of dvds also so I can do it at home the days I can't go to the gym. Is this a good deal?
Zumba DVDs

I'm waiting for my DVD's to arrive. I'm re-starting my workouts...again. I'm going to use my Wii until my Zumba arrives.

Angela I checked the link you provided. The price is cheaper if you order from the Zumba Fitness website.

Yey...I'm excited to try it out on Monday night. Can't wait. Everyone seems to love it.

thanks for the heads up for cheaper prices!

I went to my second Zumba class last Wednesday, and on Thursday night slipped in the shower and have sprained my ankle. No more action for a couple of weeks. I really enjoyed it to, so hope my motivation is good when I am healed.

Thanks for this info on Zumba. I never heard of it before and I just checked the dvd and it looks like fun. I'm going to give it a try

Great advice! Zumba is a great workout! Really, mixing it up and not doing the same old boring cardio repetition everyday is what really works with weight loss. So Zumba would be a great way to break out of that borng cardio rountine. You will never get anywhere with weight loss if you are doing say for example: a hour on the eliptical machine everyday-same pace. Trust me!

I've been thinking about trying Zumba for awhile, I hear it is an awesome work out! Please let me know what your thoughts are on it after a week...

I am signing up for a Zumba class tomorrow evening. The classes are starting in mid-September and will be 1 hour on Tuesday nights for 8 consecutive weeks. I am very excited after hearing so many positive things about Zumba!
