determined1 3 Posted January 9, 2011 I went to the local Y and joined a zumba class, am wondering if anyone has bought the zumba dvd's they advertise on tv? If so, how do you like them? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
myrori 55 Posted January 9, 2011 I have the Zumba for Wii. It moves a bit fast for this old lady, but I will keep trying. Oh and it takes all I got! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dawn 16 Posted January 9, 2011 I have the whole DVD set and it's good if you have the room and "time" to do it at home! My DH is home all day and I'm not all about doing that in the living room while he laughs! LOL I LOVED going to the actual zumba classes though, esp. when you go with a friend!!

HollyW 5 Posted January 9, 2011 I was going to join a Zumba class this month but decided to get under 200 before I try it out. I have never been one to exercise so I thought I would lose a few more pounds first. I can't wait to try it out. Everyone talks about how fun it is! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sleevesearch 14 Posted January 10, 2011 I tried zumba at my gym also, I didn't like the speed. The movements were too fast for my enjoyment. Cardio Kick-boxing is more my speed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Globetrotter 1,340 Posted January 12, 2011 Went to a Zumba class with a friend when I was home, it was so great! It's really just an updated Jazzercise, cooler music & moves but same concept. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BZButterfly79 19 Posted January 16, 2011 I am a Zumba fanatic, did it before I got fat while I was fat and still doing it now 3 kids later, the difference is I am doing it on the Xbox more than attending the classes, Zumba will make you sweat and before you know it an hour went by!

Sheila 1 Posted January 22, 2011 I just bought the DVD set and it will be here next week. I am really looking forward to trying it out. I will have the house to myself most nights as DH works at the office late. And if he is home, he is upstairs on the phone with a business partner. I figured if I can get the moves down at home, then I can join a class later. I don't like trying to learn in a formal class and being so over my head. This way works best for me. So doing Zumba in conjunction with my Belly Dancing class I should be well on my way to getting back into the exercise mindset. Sheila :clap2: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
beckyboop74 1 Posted January 28, 2011 I was going to join a Zumba class this month but decided to get under 200 before I try it out. I have never been one to exercise so I thought I would lose a few more pounds first. I can't wait to try it out. Everyone talks about how fun it is! I am pre-op and started at 315 but now at 280. Trust me, you can do it. Its the reason I've lost weight like this, in three months. Can't imagine what it would be with having the sleeve, it'd pour off! Go 4 it!

avilda 2 Posted January 28, 2011 I started doing Zumba at the local rec center at about 8 weeks out... love it!!! DH bought me Zumba for my wii for Christmas and it is great for a workout at home. You can choose between 3 different workout levels and between 20 and 45 minute workouts. and individual songs too..This gives me an opportunity to grab a quick workout even on the busiest of days. I highly recommend it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lisabug 10 Posted January 28, 2011 I tried Zumba once. I realize why I only dance when I drink. I haven't given up on it yet though. I start classes 3 days a week in feb. It burns a ton of calories so I think looking like a fool is worth it. I think starting a class from the beginning would be a lot easier then doing the drop in classes where everyone already knows the moves. If you go to Zumba.com there are a ton of success stories with weight loss. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
