I am not a very sports woman, tried the gym, big fail, I don't go don't have the motivation, but just had a look on a local website, there are Zumba classes 10min walk from my house, and wondered if I could have some point of views, and a bit more explanation from girls who are doing it.

I usually do, but I've been off ill for a few weeks.
It's like dance aerobics but even G managed to pick up most of the moves when he came to a few classes. It's really easy and silly but puffs you out enough to feel that you're getting a good workout.
CommentAuthorFuture Mrs Doublé
Do you have to know latin dances for it? I briefly did salsa but not many lessons, but I love dancing. It would help me tone up I hope

Not at all. You don't have to know how to do anything at all, which is what's great.

I also fancy trying Zumba. I am struggling with my weight big time, I have to work really hard to lose any but easily put in on. It seems worse since I broke my arm last Xmas. So annoying!
I do Zumba twice a week, I've stuck to the 'authentic' zumba classes as there are lots of alternatives. I bought the DVD pack with sticks too, which I try to do at least once a week, I love it and most of all it's fun!

I would love to do zumba. I'v heard so many people going on about it, but I'v not seen any classes for it near me. I think if I do, I'll drag my mum in to doing it with me, as we both need to lose weight for the wedding.
CommentAuthorLiz3yy
£4 sounds pretty good

tbh im goin to give the game ago and see how it is..think id much rather do that than splash out £4 per class..id rather go to a class 2 or 3 times a week which ends up £48 a month in classes !

That'd be pretty cheap for me, as there's only 1 class per week, locally. but I am also looking into rock climbing in a centre next door.

I tried it once, i enjoyed it, but at our gym the class is always booked up!! Important thing is to enjoy it otherwise if you're anything like me, i give up if i find it mudane!!
mine is £5 a class. if i had it on the wii, i probably wouldnt do it but i have to if i go to the classes x
CommentAuthorUnknown

I went to my first class on Friday, which was £4 aswell. I felt a bit silly at first but she talked us through it and I thought it was quite good. You are working a few areas at a time which is good and also it's better for me than aerobics etc. I find them difficult and hate sitting bits out, I broke my coccyx bone when I was in labour and I can't really do sit up etc cos of it. Our class is taught by a dance teacher tho rather than a zumba teacher which probably would be better.

I would love to try Zumba, a family member does it on the Wii and she looks amazing!

I went to my 1st class last Monday (didnt like the instructor as she seemed un coordinated) so a friend and I are trying a different one tonight at 7.30 :-) My mum has been doing a class local to her she has lost a stone (with WW too) and says its the 1st time in yrs she has had a waist :-) xxx

CommentAuthorLoopyLou
Im thinking of buying it for the Wii as the classes at my gym are always booked up, also if i make a fool of myself least its only me in the house (well my daughter too but i am sure she will join in the madness lol) There seems to be a lot of positive feedback for Zumba so think i will give it a go :D
CommentAuthorTinkerbell
I'm not going Thursday now, going Wednesday instead as found one that is about a 10 min jog from home so gonna do that one instead. I am very excited I have to say but don't really know what to expect or wear lol !!
