Starting tomorrow myself and a friend of mine is going to start doing Zumba!!!! HAHA i'm super excited...I think we will burn more calories laughing then acutally doing the dancing!! Curious if anyone has ever done it and if the results are good?? Oh and weighed in today now I'm down to 277. Thats 13lbs so far!!!! WOO WOO!!!

Great job on your weight loss so far!

I really like Zumba -- I think it is a great workout. But, you start off not knowing any of the dances/steps, so it takes a few weeks to get the "full" workout/calorie burning potential out of it. I don't believe it when people say "Burn 800 calories doing Zumba!" I don't think that is true especially if you are just starting to learn the moves, but it is an awesome workout and you will feel energetic and refreshed afterward!

Hi,

I just got my Zumba videos YESTERDAY. I went through the instructional video and did the 20 minute express today . . . I have no idea of calories burned or if it will shape and tone me . . . but I was sweating buckets and had a great time . . . It didn't feel like 20 minutes . . . Tomorrow I'm going to the neighbors, she has Zumba for the Wii and we are going to have a little ZUMBA party . . .

I think the thing I like about it is it's fun, time flies by and I can tell I'm working sooooooooo many muscles. Although I intend to add this to my current workout, there may be a day or two where I only do this . . .

Have fun with it

There's a Zumba studio down the street from me that I'd love to go to but no money makes it not accessible. I'm going to start looking around for some videos online (there's got to be some) it looks so fun. Good luck.
