(Reviving this lost thread)... I went to my class at the gym the other day and they pulled the ol' switcheroo... It was a Zumba class! I don't think I would have ever gone on my own. I am a complete spaz and I don't know, I just thought I'd be embarrassed, I guess. Anyway, there I was stuck in the room, so I went for it. Had a BLAST!! It was really hard but the hour just flew by. I plan to make it part of my exercise routine. I highly recommend it to anyone less-than-coordinated who is dubious about a dance class....

I was wondering about DVDs - are the Zumba Fitness ones the best? (Kinda pricey @ $60) Any others out there that y'all like?

I am bumping it again because they just started offering this at my gym! I stayed away the first couple of weeks - I'm getting much braver with class experimentation but I was worried this would be so out of my league. :) But I finally got over it and went the first time today and I am totally addicted already! It was so much fun, and I agree, the time definitely flew! There was just so much energy in the class.

I can't wait to go back -- I have to wait til MONDAY! Oh noes! I might wear my heart rate monitor too just to get a feel, I was too busy trying to keep up, I didn't even think about exertion but it felt like a really good workout.
