new jewel 3 Posted November 29, 2013 Was just wondering if anyone else has fallen in love with zumba. Im 120lbs down since my RNY. I started zumba- self conscious- standing in the back. I've fallen in love. Its my one hour to forget life and just dance. My goal is to become a zumba certified instructor in 2014. If you have t tried it- I highly recommend it. Hopefully you'll love it and fall in love with this exercise as much as I have! 1 Cherryhair reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
brwneyedwoman 11 Posted December 1, 2013 I'm planning to take a class after surgery. How long did you wait after surgery before starting? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
new jewel 3 Posted December 5, 2013 I believe about 6 weeks. I was cleared after 4 but was nervous about the jumping etc so i waited longer. The best thing about zumba is you can go at your own speed and level. If you cant do a move you improvise!! So fun and non judgmental 1 brwneyedwoman reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So fun and non judgmental Zumba is only great when you have a skilled instructor with an amazing playlist - same goes with any other group fitness class such as spinning and kickboxing. I love them all with the right instructor and music (: of course a great energized groups makes a huge difference too!! 3 proudmom239, Cherryhair and brwneyedwoman reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
