wondered what peoples experiences were with it.im thinking of taking it up...

No, but!
I know a few people who take it and quite frankly I've never heard people so excited about exercise outside of an infomercial.

I would say if you're reasonably healthy, go ahead and try it! (I won't - I'm obese and unhealthy and I from what I hear, I think I'd keel over dead!)

I personally have not but I work with a girl who has become I think an addict

She is looking very good though, probably went down 3 sizes so far. I would think because it is dance that it would be excellent cardiac exercise too. Anyway she loves it! Sometimes another girl goes with her and she said it is fun

I was just watching some zuba classes on youtube! It looks like fun. Not sure if I could keep up but I would love to try!

Don't you have to have rhythm to do this? I have none...or I'm just shy

.

Karen....I'm gonna tell you what my sister told me "when you do it I'll do it"...and she knows the truth on that! lolol.

I saw it on youtube...even downloaded some lady doing instructions on it...she was good...and slow. I'm afraid I'll throw something out! It does look fun...I think I'm just embarassed...even alone trying it at home...stupid, I know

. I would like to do tae bo...that's more my style. I bought the tapes years ago but didn't have coordination then...as you get older you get more coordinated, right?

But in answer to your question...I've heard alot of people love it. Maybe I'll try it at home. At least if I trip and mess up the steps I'm the only one who will notice...along with my dog and cat

I can't breathe...your turn Michelle!

To me, it looks too much like a Michael Jackson routine for me to like it.

Too much work. Count me out.

**butterfly1234** · Feb 13th 2010, 04:24 AM

yea i thoght it could keep me more interested than plain ole exercising,but its seems so much for a beginner that id feel overwhelmed..maybe ill stick to my treadmill...

I have been hosting Zumba classes in my party/banquet room since March and am currently hosting 7 classes per week. It inspired me to start a Worship Fitness class on Sundays. Is anyone interested in participating? Please let me know your thoughts and comments. Thanks.

I would love to but I would be terrible! my rhythm is all over the place.

I haven't been to an organized class, but I have tried the workout DVDs at home. Wanting to try it without the risk of making a fool of myself, I borrowed them from a neighbour while she was away on vacation over the summer. I found the workouts hard work, but SO much fun! With any workout, you go at your own pace and do what you can. More importantly, just have fun with it! I did and have even asked DH tango for the DVDs for Christmas!
