I was surprised to see someone had posted in this thread this morning so I had to pop in and reply (I'm so busy right now I'm not on the forum much). The answer is yes, I'm still doing Zumba and yes, it does get "more productive". I'm not sure it gets easier in terms of a workout, but I think the more you get to know the steps the easier it is for your brain. LOL Most instructors have fairly consistent routines and the nature of the steps are dance-based (dalsa, merengue, kumbia and others plus aerobic moves) you will eventually start to recognize them. When you know more what to expect you can concentrate more on your workout and less on tripping! (And I still trip plenty.)

It sounds like you have a great combination of things going. I personally think you need to keep mixing things up for your body and I know that Pilates and Zumba was the answer for me (since by their nature they are never exactly the same like it would be on a treadmill doing weights).

Good luck and keep at it! And remember it's not about getting the steps right - it's about the attitude, baby!!
