globally yours 0 Posted September 24, 2008 Just came across a video for Zumba, and ordered some DVDs. Looks fun, just wondered if anyone else had tried it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Michee 2 Posted September 24, 2008 They offer it at my gym. It seems really popular, they've added a few more classes. I am more of a running/cycling/weights person. It has way to much choreography for my liking, but those that enjoy "dancing" seem to love it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thatDEgirl 1 Posted September 24, 2008 They do classes at the Y we go to...so far none have fit my work schedule but they look like fun. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
katieo 0 Posted September 25, 2008 Had not even heard of it!! I just watched a clip of it on utube, amazing!! Would love to try it but my confidence is very low right now :crying: My weight holds me back from doing the things I love and then I eat even more to make me feel better about my passionless life!!! I SOOOOO NEED THIS BAND!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
globally yours 0 Posted September 25, 2008 Thanks everyone for the replies. I orderd some DVDs on Ebay. It looks like so much fun. I´ll probably stick at it, but I´ll keep moving! Katie, I do understand some of those feelings. You will soon be feeling better. I see you are from the UK. I lived in London for a few years (my hubby is British). Is the NHS paying for your band, or are you doing it private pay? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skinipete 0 Posted September 29, 2008 I'd love to try zumba GY...how much did the tapes cost? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
katieo 0 Posted September 29, 2008 globally yours I am hoping to get my op done on the NHS, have an appointment tomorrow with my GP, so will see what she says. I do fit the criteria with BMI but don't suffer with diabetes or heart problems(YET!!!)so they may still refuse. I am going to ask to be tested for sleep apnea as I snore baldy and really struggle to wake up even after an 8 or 9 hour sleep, also get very tired in the day, this might just be down to being so heavy but still want it checked out anyhow and if I have got it my chances of getting the band are better.........we will see I suppose! Your weight seems to be going down nicely, well done!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
globally yours 0 Posted September 30, 2008 I'd love to try zumbaGY...how much did the tapes cost? I got mine on Ebay. 4 DVDs for $26.00. They arrived this evening. Haven´t had time to try them out. Should be a good laugh! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

When I lived in London, I had gallstones, had to wait 18 months for surgery. It was agony!!!!!!!!!! Yes I´m losing, sometimes not as fast as I would like, but I didn´t get overweight overnight either. Keep us posted. I have a soft spot for England:smile: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HeatherO 7 Posted September 30, 2008 I took a class at the gym. It was a lot of fun and I enjoyed it a lot. However, it was only a moderate workout, not high intensity. I work out a lot and this was great for "off days" when I am just getting aerobics in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
becky42 0 Posted September 30, 2008 My gym started a class a few months ago. I need to try it. It sounds like fun. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sthoma01 0 Posted October 3, 2008 I love Zumba! I try to get in 4 classes in each week at the Y. I leave the classes dripping. I have never been high on exercise, but have always loved to dance. So, it's wonderful to be exercising and having fun at the same time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fabnatsdiva 0 Posted October 15, 2008 I've been to a live Zumba class, and it was one of the most fun workouts ever. I have a dance background, and im into the whole 'jazzersize' and step workout thing, but it was fun. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
globally yours 0 Posted October 15, 2008 Well, I got the DVD, and it is too advanced for me at this point. Hurts my knees, and ankles. BUT I have it for when I´m ready! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jswandrn 0 Posted October 15, 2008 I am signed up to take a Zumba class starting 10/27/08 at my Y. I am just concerned that I am not physically fit enough for it... I will find out soon enough. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
