Well now I know I'm an addict. I just spent part of my afternoon making an 80 minute Zumba favorites CD. I'm a dweeb

Where are my Zumba buddies??

I'm feeling sooo lonely

There is a zumba class starting around the corner from me in the fall and I can't wait. Sounds like a blast!

Well, I am kinda getting bored with the hour walk everyday, so I have been reading this thread and you all have me intriged. I am not very coordinated so I will not be going to gym for classes, looked on Amazon and see several different options.

Is this a good/right one?

Zumba Workout 4 DVD's Latin Dance Fitness Set ($43.98)

Or is there another one that I need to get? Just a side note, I do not have a CD player in the house, just a Blue Ray/DVD player.

This sounds like so much fun.
Thanks,
Roxanne

I bought one on e-bay recently that comes with 6 different workouts and a pair of weighted hand thingies. So far I have only done the fitness basics DVD, but even that was a good workout. They break down each move and teach you how to do it. So far I like it

Okay, I just looked on EBAY and only see sets that have 4 DVD's, does your have 6 or are there 6 workouts on the 4 dvd's? I can not tell if they come with the workout thingys.

I want to buy the right set, I would think that I definatly will need a easy one to start.

Thanks,
Roxanne

The set I have is called Zumba Fitness Total Body Transformation System DVD Set, and it sells for about $60. HTH!

Thanks, I will see if I can find it.

That's the one I have. It comes with little hand-weight-thingies. I got mine off Amazon--plus I think I got free super saving shipping

Great, thanks Lisa.

I will try and find it also.

Good for you Lisa! I also noticed I lose inches even before pounds. Isn't that the part that counts anyway?

OK it's official...the owners of the gym I go to (she is one of my patients) asked me to get certified as a Zumba instructor. Apparently some of the ladies that I take class with have asked her when I was going to start teaching. I feel honored that they would think that highly of me and whatever minimal skills I possess. (I can be as uncoordinated as they get some days). Fortuantely or unfortuanately I won't be able to go until the second week of October (I've got a special patient due in September who I promised I would deliver--that means I am available to her for about 4 weeks--no leaving town for me). I'm thinking this is good because it will give me another 8 weeks of taking class under my belt.

I think the way it's going to work best is to be a secondary instructor--meaning I'll play tag in an on-going class time. The main instructor will do the majority and I'll do 2-3 routines thru out the hour. That way if I'm called out or can't make it, the class won't be cancelled. There's a new instructor starting next week and she said she would love for me to tag onto her classes. I'm looking at it more as the fun aspect not a "work" aspect--I get enough at my real work I went this morning at 9am--I don't think I've had that much fun at 9am since I was in Vegas

My mom is cracking up...when we went to the mall and went past one of those "young" stores, they had zumba type music blaring--I did a little shimmy and my mom just about busted out laughing. She's so easily entertained, I love it!

I don't know if you guys particularly like Shakira--I had never really listened to any of her music, but I'm watching a YOU TUBE video of her with the song "Hips Don't Lie". Wowza! How can that girl move like that??!! I'm going to have to break my bellydance DVDs out--I don't think I've looked at them in YEARS, but I think I'm going to need them (and a back brace ).

Whose done their Zumba this week??!!!

I try to hit a Zumba class once a week--the instructor I usually get is not my fave--her dance moves are very fast and small and hard to pick up. But it's a great work out.

I went through you tube and made a DVD of zumba workouts to do at home. I just looked for ones with good camera work and routines that were easy to follow.

Haven't done it yet, but I'm all set to Zumba at home.
