Zumba?

[juliansmom2003 3]

Just wondering if anyone has tried this. I am looking at it on the website and it looks like fun, but I just don't want to buy another exercise DVD set to have it collect dust.

I bought the Slim in 6 months ago, and did it twice this week and it's just PAINFUL! I know that can be part of exercising, but I'm not sure I will ever get used to the moves, so I'm thinking of putting the Slim in 6 on eBay to buy the Zumba.

Has anyone tried Zumba? If so, what is/was your experience with it?

Love it! My local YMCA offers it, and it's great fun. Feels like dancing, not exercising. At first I was worried that I would look stupid, but you get the hang of it pretty quickly, and there are always lots of people of different shapes and sizes there.

My favorite aerobics class!:confused:

Why don't you check out a class at your local Y or gym? Most offer a guest pass for free b/c they want you to join. I have been meaning to try it b/c w/ my work schedule I can't seem to fit it in.

I have never been ableto get into DVDs. I always find that after watching the video 2 or 3 times, I am done and don't care to watch it again.

My best friend is a zumba instructor and has students of all shapes, sizes, ages and coordination levels. I went to her class with her the last time I went to visit and it was a lot of fun and a lot more forgiving if you don't do it perfectly than other dance classes.

Zumba is great! My employer brings in a Fitness company and they do Zumba twice a week and kickboxing the other two days. I'm signed up for Zumba 2x's and kickboxing once a week. Like others have said, Zumba is a lot of fun and doesn't really feel like exercise because you're having fun doing it. But believe me, it is a good work out and you will sweat and burn a ton of calories while doing it. I would think it's probably more fun to do with a group of girls but I'm sure a tape would be good too. Go for it! :sad:

Zumba is great is you like to dance, and you like Latin music! I don't know specifically about the dvds- I haven't used them... our YMCA offers it, and I love it!

I am a zumba lover! I love to dance and it makes the boring workouts more enjoyable. You dance your weight away and sweat like crazy...:frown:

Hmmmm decisions, decisions. I am now torn between getting the Zumba DVDs and the Ab Circle Pro. I do need cardio as well as the ab work, maybe I could tweak my budget to do both LOL!

Oh sure...these things always look like fun. Then someone (like me) trips over their feet because they're a step behind and a day late and falls on their ass.
