Recommended Posts

I did hip hop Zumba a couple of years ago 3 days a week for an hour and inches FLEW off. I'd love to do it again, but money is an issue lately :(

I did it for the first time last night and it was awesome! The hour flew by and I felt great afterward! I am going to go every Thursday from now on and I hope that I can go to more classes and that I will tone up and lose inches!

I go 6-9 times a week! You could say im addicted lol. I was featured on the news last year for it :) next month I am being featured in a newsletter for one of the studios I attend. Its the easiest hour of exercise I do. However I must stress that once I added weight training my body transformation was incredible. Cardio will only get you so far and I wish I had added the weight training earlier in my weight loss journey.

I'm going to try the wii zumba. Is it hard on joints? Most of my joints have a problem. I've been told that I should be doing Water exercises but can't afford gym fees so must do what I can at home. I need suggestions...I have knee, shoulder, wrist and hip problems. My knees give out and I fall so have to consider not doing squats. Even three of them and I'm on the floor. I'm a mess. But still trying to get ideas so I can work up a good workout. I need to get rid of alot of upper body weight tone up etc. Suggestions please. Thx

I tried zumba great excercise..burning lots of calories sweating and lots of fun..except I have really bad knees. Tried it for 3 weeks ....killer on your knees/joints. Biking and swimming are about all I can do.

I love zumba and have been going once a week, but this last week it hurt my knee. I am going to have to take it easier on the jumps and squats we do. I wish I could go to zumba 7 days a week because I would go! Does anybody do the DVDs at home? If so is it a good workout? I want to sweat like I do in the gym!

I love Zumba!!! I go three times/week and its the greatest workout and so much fun. Today it was like Hot Zumba...the room must have been 90 degrees. Ugh.

So what are your favorite zumba songs? Does your instructor go with mostly latin music or popular tunes? I love pretty much anything Pitbull does to zumba to...

Yeah...I'm at the point where its time to add in the weight training. Starting in January I'm going to add 2 days of crossfit into my workout....that will give me the strength training I need. I'm excited to see the results!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
