kimmy*custis 276 Posted June 7, 2012 I went to my first Zumba class tonight...what a blast! I totally felt like I had two left feet but cant wait for the next class! Hopefully this will kick the weight loss into high gear! 1 NEVA907 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nikki_1985 32 Posted June 7, 2012 I love Zumba. Did a 45 minute class tonight. I probably look like a total tool doing it, but it is so much fun!!! Once I started doing the Zumba it broke the stall I was in and I have continued to lose consistenly now. It really helps!! 1 MKambalimath reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kimmy*custis 276 Posted June 7, 2012 I know, it was a hour long class and I am sure I looked bad too but so did 3/4 of the class! I guess as long as we are doing it right? I cant wait to start losing again and I hope this works for me too! Thanks for the reply. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hadouni 301 Posted June 8, 2012 I've been debating a gym membership and good classes are a must. Zumba can be very fun. I have the CDs and I particularly like the toning routine with the weights, but motivating to do them at home just isn't happening. Good for you to get out to class!

Capt Derel 287 Posted June 9, 2012 I am actually about to buy the wii game and the DVD set when I get home for my wife and I. Shes been after this for awhile now and I looked into it and I love the concept behind it. No local classes nearby for us so this is the next best step 1 kimmy*custis reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lovelyluna 4 Posted June 19, 2012 How long after getting sleeve where you able to start doing zumba classes? I've been debating whether or not I want to join a class after getting sleeved, but curious about the healing time after surgery before letting your body move like that.

LouiseC 1,031 Posted June 19, 2012 I am jealous. I suck at zumba! I tried a couple of times but I guess I am too uncoordinated. I went left when the others went right, forward when they went back etc. So embarrassing. I hit the wall, crashed into others and generally looked like an idiot! Too embarrassed to go back.

Finding MeMe 204 Posted June 19, 2012 Sweeettttt so it sounds like you are hooked. Zumba is one of my fav ways to burn calories and tone up and i've learned how to salsa, flamingo and merengue like a latin girl. I didn't know how to spell those latin dances bofore, now I do them like a pro. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
meggiep 57 Posted June 19, 2012 I have a total crush on Zumba! Before my sleeve I could only do Water classes- and then in November, six months out, I ventured to try Zumba. I loved it! I have to be careful as I have nerve damage in my back and knees. I don't jump, for example. I now do TWELVE classes a week! 1 MKambalimath reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

former_vbg 198 Posted June 19, 2012 I did a Zumba class for the first time last week too. And, I also felt like two left feet, but managed to hang in there. It sure does kick up the calorie burn for sure! I can't see how anyone would stay in a stall if they do Zumba classes. Unfortunately I can't go all the time due to home stuff, but I am going to go every chance I get. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But with 2 classes of pilates as well...YOU GO GIRL!!!!!!!!!!! Can you say...Transfer Addiction lol! I do 12 Zumba, a stepping class, two Water aerobics classes, and a Water pilates class a week. AND I walk three miles a day... Part of it is being disabled with nerve pain in my back and knees and seeking ways to work out. I have also been looking for work for a while and a friend said "If you can't find work then work at something to feel productive" and I chose working out ...big time!
